Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey Continues AAAASF Accreditation for Patient Safety

Completed Thorough Review Process

(CHICAGO, IL) — Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey is pleased to announce our continued accreditation from the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF). Our center is continually conscious of patient safety.

AAAASF requires 100 percent compliance with all accreditation standards and does not offer partial accreditation. If a facility fails to meet any standard, it must correct the deficiency or risk denial or loss of accreditation. To earn its accreditation, Reproductive Science Center of New Jersey passed inspection on hundreds of important criteria concerning patient safety. AAAASF facility inspectors are board certified medical specialists trained to perform a thorough and complete facility inspection. AAAASF facility inspectors follow a regimented procedure to inspect an outpatient surgery facility in the following categories:

• General Environment
• Operating Room Environment, Policy and Procedures
• Recovery Room Environment, Policy and Procedures
• General Safety in the Facility
• Blood and Medications
• Medical Records
• Quality Assessment and Quality Improvement
• Personnel
• Anesthesia
