The Pain Institute's Louisville location is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC), a private, not-for-profit organization founded with the goal of helping ambulatory health care organizations improve the quality of care they provide to their patients. Accreditation is a voluntary process through which an ambulatory health care organization measures the quality of its services and performance against nationally recognized standards. The accreditation process involves self-assessment by the organization as well as a thorough review by AAAHC experts, who are themselves practicing health care professionals. The accreditation certificate is a benchmark of quality, demonstrating that The Pain Institute is committed to providing high-quality care and that it has demonstrated its commitment by measuring up to AAAHC's high standards.
