IU Health Proton Therapy Center receives reaccreditation by AAAASF.

The Indiana University Health Proton Therapy Center was reaccredited by American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF). The Proton Therapy Center has demonstrated its commitment to patient safety by gaining accreditation from AAAASF, recognized nationally as the “Gold Standard” in accreditation. As part of our mission to provide the best possible care for our patients, we continually strive for excellence. Meeting the high standards of AAAASF reinforces that commitment.

To earn its accreditation, the IU Health Proton Therapy Center, like every AAAASF accredited facility, must meet stringent national standards for general environment, general safety, blood and medication, medical records, quality assessment/improvement, personnel, governance, recovery room, and anesthesia. The end result is that the accredited facility makes a commitment toward maintaining safety and quality in the facility. As the leading accrediting organization for ambulatory facilities, AAAASF has developed the systems to effectively monitor and implement the latest advances in outpatient care delivery that directly benefit patients. The AAAASF Accreditation Program requires 100% compliance with each Standard to become and remain accredited, and the IU Health Proton Therapy Center met these requirements for the second consecutive year.

The IU Health Proton Therapy Center has demonstrated that they have met the highest standards in patient care and safety. Meeting the “Gold Standard” requirements elevates the patient safety awareness of every member of the staff and improves the quality of care.

The IU Health Proton Therapy Center's anesthesia program could not be successful without the support of Bloomington Anesthesiologists. The anesthesiologists group is experienced in both pediatric and adult anesthesia allowing the facility the ability to provide quality care to any age group. They work hand-in-hand with our physicians and nurses to provide a safe environment for proton treatments for our patients.

AAAASF has been a major proponent for peer review reporting and quality improvement in the outpatient surgery environment. It is the mission of AAAASF to develop and implement standards of excellence to improve quality of patient care and safety through a program of inspection and accreditation that serves both the medical community and the public interest.
