Laser Spine Institute, leaders in minimally invasive spinal surgery, is pleased to announce the accreditation of LSI Tampa by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care. AAAHC accreditation distinguishes LSI's facilities in Tampa, Fla. and Scottsdale, Ariz. from other outpatient surgical facilities as providing the highest quality of care for patients and a safe work environment for medical staff and employees. Also covered under the Laser Spine Institute umbrella, are the consultation facilities, located in San Diego and The Villages, Fla. and soon to come in Fort Lauderdale and Beverly Hills.
"We believe our patients deserve the best and we strive to attain the highest level of care and safety possible," explains Bill Horne, LSI chief executive officer, "AAAHC accreditation means that LSI has reached for and met a rigorous set of national health standards ensuring our patients know when they come to an LSI facility, they will receive the best care possible."
AAAHC accreditation is specifically for organizations that provide diagnostic or medical care on an outpatient basis. To receive accreditation for both the Tampa and Scottsdale facilities, LSI underwent an extensive self-assessment of processes, policies and procedures, and a rigorous on-site two-day survey by the Accreditation Association team. LSI successfully met or exceeded all nationally recognized best practice standards established by AAAHC, providing the highest-level quality of ambulatory care available.
