Our surveys are conducted by experienced health care professionals, so they're collaborative in nature and not just a check list. Jack Egnatinsky, MD, Past Chair of the Board, AAAHC " If the patient was your child, your spouse, you'd want the facility to be AAAHC accredited. " For more information, Contact us: 847-853-6060 By email: info@aaahc.org Log on: www.aaahc.org bill got a lot smaller." Mostly fair To be fair, most surveyors are seen as very fair and very helpful, a fact that's reflected in the comments of many readers. "I felt our last sur- vey was all fair," says one. "What we got cited for were things that did need to be either updated or changed. It wasn't the horror story that I was expecting. It was still nerve-wracking, but I learned a lot." "We got dinged for not having an anesthesia cart locked when it wasn't attended," recalls another. "We deserved it."
