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 AAUCM Urgent Care Center Accreditation (UCCA) Program recognizes outstanding facilities which demonstrate the highest level of commitment to patient care and the practice of Urgent Care Medicine. This Accreditation serves as a benchmark of quality, not only to those involved in the healthcare industry, but to the general public as well. The 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. Urgent care organizations value accreditation as a measure of professional achievement and quality of care. This mirrors the missions and goals of the AAUCM.
