Convenient Care Achieves Urgent Care Center Accreditation
Summary
Accreditation is a voluntary process through which an Urgent Care Center is able to measure the quality of its services and performance against nationally recognized standards.This Accreditation serves as a benchmark of quality, not only to those involved in the healthcare industry, but to the general public as well.The UCCA Program accomplishes the accreditation of Urgent Care centers by setting standards, measuring performance, and providing consultation and education where needed.Accreditation is ultimately awarded to those urgent care centers that are found to be in compliance with the AAUCM standards.This mirrors the missions and goals of the AAUCM.The American Academy of Urgent Care Medicine (AAUCM) is a national organization which represents thousands of physicians who practice urgent care medicine in various clinical settings throughout the United States.
