AAAHC Survey The AAAHC survey process is designed to be interactive, educational, and consultative. Surveyors are established health care professionals who bring real- world experience to the process. During the survey, AAAHC surveyors may offer suggestions and consultative comments relating to how specific processes may be improved.
While a final determination of the scope of survey (that is, the number of survey days and the number of surveyors) cannot be established until a completed application is received, most health centers can plan to be surveyed over a 2 1/2 day period by a team of 2 surveyors. We will work with health center staff to identify convenient survey dates. Where to start Health centers must first receive approval via the Health Center Accreditation Initiative by submitting a Notice of Interest (NOI) to HRSA. If you have any questions about your NOI, please contact the Accredit. PCMH@hrsa. gov. AAAHC will provide a Community Health Accreditation Kit.
Approximately one week after receipt of these materials, the health center will be contacted to discuss the pre- survey assessment and application processes. For the PAL- 2. 01.
