SPRINGFIELD
- Springfield Clinic has achieved accreditation by the Accreditation
Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). Accreditation
distinguishes Springfield Clinic’s network of care from many other
outpatient facilities by providing the highest quality of care to its
patients as determined by an independent, external process of
evaluation.
|
Status as an accredited organization means Springfield Clinic has
met nationally recognized standards for the provision of quality
health care set by AAAHC. More than 5,000 ambulatory health care
organizations across the United States are accredited by AAAHC.
Ambulatory health care organizations seeking accreditation by AAAHC
undergo an extensive self-assessment and on-site survey by AAAHC
expert surveyors – physicians, nurses, and administrators who are
actively involved in ambulatory health care. The survey is
consultative and educational, presenting best practices to help an
organization improve its care and services.

The 2015 survey resulted in a full, three-year accreditation, the
highest level of achievement possible, for all Springfield Clinic’s
medical offices and ancillary services throughout central Illinois.
It marks more than 20 consecutive years of accreditation for
Springfield Clinic.
“This achievement is the product of a team effort. It has taken the
commitment and dedication of our physicians, their clinical staff
members and the entire organization to demonstrate the quality of
care delivered at Springfield Clinic,” said Randy Bryant, Chief
Executive Officer at Springfield Clinic. “This recognition validates
the efforts we have made in the past and inspires us to continue
leading the way in health care quality.”

wear jeans, which is a departure from their traditional workplace attire.
