AAHA Accreditation
AAHA developed the Accreditation Program to raise the level of care being provided to companion animals. We also wanted to increase loyalty among veterinary staff members and provide a way for practices to show their excellence to their communities and clients.
AAHA, along with a group of veterinary experts, developed the AAHA Standards of Accreditation as benchmarks of excellence. We also developed the evaluation system where practices are regularly evaluated by a Practice Consultant to ensure they meet AAHA’s standards.
Why Accreditation?
Veterinary practices choose to become AAHA-accredited for a myriad of reasons, including the desire to:
- Have challenging benchmarks to reach
- Ensure that practices are up-to-date on changes in veterinary medicine
- Improve practice operations and check skills
- Enhance credibility with peers and clients
- Inspire pride among staff members
- Encourage leadership development
- Have their achievements recognized
The preparation for the on-site evaluation and the actual evaluation itself can be a powerful team-building experience that will help you and your staff enhance the quality of care you provide. You’ll see your team members pull together and exhibit their pride in your practice. AAHA Practice Consultants have been in hundreds of practices and can offer the value of a fresh perspective on how the best practices function.
