Accreditation is a voluntary process through which an Urgent Care Center is able to measure the quality of its services and performance against nationally recognized standards. The accreditation certificate is a symbol to others that an organization is committed to providing high-quality care. The Urgent Care Center Accreditation (UCCA) Program accomplishes the accreditation of urgent care centers by setting standards, measuring performance, and providing consultation and education where needed. Accreditation is ultimately awarded to those urgent care centers that are found to be in compliance with the AAUCM standards.

Why is accreditation important?

Urgent care organizations will value accreditation as a measure of professional achievement and quality of care. This mirrors the missions and goals of the American Academy of Urgent Care Medicine. UCC’s should welcome the AAUCM survey as a constructive learning experience. The UCCA certificate of accreditation is a benchmark of quality, not only to those involved in the health care industry but to the general public as well.
