Accreditation

Dulaney Eye Institute is classified as Medicare Certified, ensuring that our patients receive the highest quality level of surgical services. The surgery center is licensed by the state of Maryland and is also accredited by the
Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). The AAAHC is the leader in developing standards to advance and promote patient safety, quality, and value for ambulatory health care, through peer-based accreditation processes, education, and research. Accreditation is ultimately awarded to organizations that are found to be in compliance with the Accreditation Association standards. The AAAHC Accreditation means that Dulaney Eye Institute follows rigorous and nationally recognized standards for the provision of quality health care set by the AAAHC. Organizations seeking this accreditation are required to undergo an extensive on-site, peer-based survey of their facilities and services. Not all ambulatory health care organizations seek this accreditation and not all seeking the accreditation are granted it; however, Dulaney Eye Institute commitment to the highest quality patient care is evidenced by their drive to pursue this status.
