Our Mission
The mission of the Association of Health Facility Survey Agencies (AHFSA) is to strengthen the role of its member state agencies in advocating, establishing, overseeing, and coordinating health care standards that will assure the highest practicable quality of health care for all state and federally regulated health care providers.
These goals are met through member advocacy to various organizations and agencies; through the gathering, communicating and exchanging of health related information; through advice and recommendation to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, Inc. (ASTHO) and other health care agencies, associations and entities; through helping to improve the quality of state and territorial health survey programs; and, through the professional development of its members.
Welcome to AHFSA
The Association of Health Facility Survey Agencies (AHFSA) is a not-for-profit organization that provides a forum for regulatory agency directors and managers to address common interests, concerns, and health care program issues related to certification and licensure of health care facilities. The State Survey Agencies in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico are members of our organization.
The AHFSA web site has been developed to provide information about our organization, to allow us to share information about the programs we manage, and to offer links to other web sites where interested persons can learn about licensing, certifying, and inspecting health care providers. Please explore the site and learn more about our mission and goals.
