The AAAHC Advanced Orthopaedic Total Joint Certification
recognizes surgical facilities that demonstrates compliance with
higher level quality expectations designed by experts in the field
of orthopedics. The certification demonstrates an organization-wide
commitment to ongoing quality improvement and is focused on safe
patient outcomes. ASCs that earn advanced Orthopaedic certification
for total joint replacement surgery must demonstrate use of
evidence-based clinical practice guidelines and ongoing performance
improvement processes.
To be considered for Advanced Orthopaedic Total Joint
Certification, ASCs are required to have a dedicated core team of
clinicians with education and expertise in orthopaedic surgical
care. Advanced certified ASCs are required to submit all surgical
outcomes to a nationally recognized data registry.
OASC opened in 2004 in partnership with surgeons from Orthopedic
Associates of Hartford, one of
Connecticut's largest and most
respected orthopedic specialty groups. The facility has been
performing total joint replacement surgeries since 2016. "We truly
appreciate the recognition from AAAHC for earning this esteemed
certification," said Dr. Robert J.
Carangelo, OASC President and total joint surgeon. "It is a
testament to the hard work and dedication of our medical staff,
care teams, administrators and surgeons in providing outstanding
quality of care to our patients. It is our goal to maintain the
highest standards of safety, efficiency, and quality to ensure the
best outcome for our patients."
In addition to total joint replacements, OASC also serves the
community by providing an array of orthopedic surgical services
