Q.png

Do you require your surgeons to complete a minimum number of cases within a specified time frame to maintain their privileges? How many cases and over what period of time?
A.png

We do not require our providers to do a minimum number of cases as we are a single-specialty unit. We currently do 700-plus procedures every single month.

Do you audit your janitorial and housekeeping staff? For what purpose?
A.png

Janitorial and housekeeping are contracted services from our corporate offices. As you know, there is a standard in AAAHC [2.I.I.], which refers to the review of all contracted services by the governing body. Therefore, it is one of the goals of our organization to ensure these services are reviewed and reported to the governing body.

2.I.I. states that the governing body is responsible for approving and ensuring compliance of all major contracts or arrangements affecting the medical and/or dental care provided under its auspices.
