The AAAHC awards a six-month term of accreditation when it concludes that the organization is in substantial compliance with the standards but it is not eligible for a one-year term of accreditation because the organization does not meet certain requirements (e.g., the organization has not been operational for six months).

The AAAHC also awards a six-month term of accreditation to organizations that are not in compliance with the standards and the organization’s demonstration of continued compliance with the standards is not sufficiently well established to grant a longer term of accreditation. The organization, however, demonstrates the commitment and capability to correct identified deficiencies within six (6) months. The organization must have a re-survey within five (5) months from the previous survey date to avoid a lapse in accreditation. The re-survey is not necessarily limited to the deficiencies noted in the previous survey report; all core and applicable adjunct standards will be reviewed.
