AAAHC releases seven new benchmarking studies
Ambulatory Surgery Reimbursement Update, July 10, 2007
The AAAHC Institute for Quality Improvement (AAAHC Institute) released seven new reports that offer insight into enhancing the quality of some common outpatient procedures.
The new 2006 AAAHC Institute studies focus on subjects such as:
- Cataract extraction with lens insertion
- Colonoscopy
- Knee arthroscopy with meniscectomy
Naomi Kuznets, PhD, managing director of the AAAHC Institute, said of the reports, "[They] illustrate that excellent ambulatory patient care isn't a function of volume or total spending. It is a matter of knowing certain practices and procedural efficiencies, and how to adopt them. One role of the Institute reports is to identify and promote practices that ambulatory healthcare professionals can use to provide a better experience to their patients."
