AMA Endorses UHMS Hyperbaric Facility Accreditation Program
Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) proudly announces a historic milestone in advancing the quality and safety of hyperbaric medicine. The American Medical Association (AMA) has formally recommended and expressed support for the UHMS Hyperbaric Facility Accreditation Program—further cementing its role as the gold standard in hyperbaric facility accreditation.
The UHMS program has long been recognized by leading healthcare regulators and organizations. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has acknowledged UHMS accreditation as a benchmark for facility compliance and patient safety. Additionally, the UHMS maintains a compliance agreement with The Joint Commission, aligning hyperbaric facility standards with the same rigorous expectations set for hospitals and health systems nationwide.
Building on this strong foundation, UHMS has achieved and maintained ISO 9001 certification, an internationally recognized quality management standard. This accomplishment underscores UHMS’s dedication to continuous improvement and operational excellence
A Leader in the Field of Hyperbaric Medicine
With this combination of endorsements, recognitions, and certifications, the UHMS Hyperbaric Facility Accreditation Program has established itself as the premier accreditation pathway for non-hospital and hospital-based hyperbaric facilities alike. Facilities that achieve UHMS accreditation demonstrate:
- Compliance with the highest clinical and safety standards in hyperbaric medicine.
- Commitment to evidence-based practices and quality outcomes.
- Alignment with national and international regulatory expectations.
Accreditation demonstrates to facilities, providers, patients, and regulators that a UHMS Accredited facility operates at the highest level of safety and clinical excellence. With AMA support, FDA recognition, the Joint Commission Compliance Agreement, and ISO 9001 certification, our program continues to set the industry benchmark.
