Accreditation Decisions and Recognition
Once the corrective actions have been implemented and validated, the documents are forwarded to the AACI Accreditation Committee for final approval.
Accreditation Determination Process
Accreditation decisions are made by the AACI Accreditation Committee based on the findings and recommendations of the survey team. Organizations may receive one of the following two decisions:
-
Accredited
-
Accreditation Denied
These decisions are determined by the organization’s ability to meet the decision rules related to both compliance and performance outcomes.
Organizations that meet the accreditation criteria will receive:
-
An Approved Survey Report
-
A formal Accreditation Award Letter
-
The official AACI Accreditation Certificate
The survey report outlines the organization’s overall level of compliance with AACI standards, providing clear feedback on strengths and areas for further development.
Recognition of Achievement
Successfully meeting the AACI Accreditation Standards is a significant accomplishment, formally recognized through the awarding of the AACI Gold Medal of Accreditation—a symbol of excellence in healthcare quality and safety.
