Accreditation

American Association of Integrative Medicine Accreditation Commission℠

Leadership, commitment and the active involvement of management are essential tools for developing and maintaining an effective and efficient quality management system to achieve benefits associated with accreditation. The American Association of Integrative Medicine (AAIM) Accreditation Commission understands that importance and provides a structure for improvement activities that are significant to Joint Commission and customer service goals related with continual improvement. To ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of the improvement process, the AAIM Accreditation Commission evaluates the realization and support processes in terms of:

• • effectiveness (such as outputs meeting requirements),
• • efficiency (such as resources per unit in terms of time and money),
• • external effects (such as statutory and regulatory change),
• • potential weakness (such as lack of capability and consistency),
• • the opportunity to employ better methods,
• • control of planned and unplanned change, and
• • measurement of planned benefits.

The AAIM Accreditation Commission process for continual improvement should be used as a tool for improving an organization’s internal effectiveness and efficiency, as well as to improve the satisfaction of customers and other interested parties.
