In the Operating Room

Our Out-patient Surgery Center

The AAAASF has four classes of Operating Rooms: class A, class B, and class C-M, and class C. Our Facility is classified as a Class C, the *highest level of certification* possible with the AAAASF. Class C status is only awarded to Facilities which are certified to monitor all types of anesthesia. There are also very strict criterias for OR size (must be 400 sq ft), air filtration systems, infection control, cleaning protocols, safety protocols, physician and staffing credentials and other parameters. There are only 8 Class C Surgery Centers in the State of Maryland. In order to attain and re-certify with the AAAASF, 100% compliance is demanded. Facilities must satisfy every single criteria for certification. If any single criteria is not met, than they are denied accreditation.

Additionally, our Facility is Medicare Certified, meeting the standards set by the U.S. government.
