Burn Center Verification
New York Burn Injury Lawyers
Burn Injury Centers Throughout the United States
Verification of burn centers is a joint program of the American Burn Association (ABA) and the American College of Surgeons (ACS). It is a rigorous review program designed to verify a burn center's resources that are required for the provision of optimal care to burn patients from the time of injury through rehabilitation. Elements of this voluntary program include an application, a pre-review questionnaire and an in-depth on-site review by members of the ABA Verification Committee and senior members of the ABA. A written report of the site visit team is reviewed by the ABA Verification Committee and by the Committee on Trauma of the ACS.
Burn center verification provides a true mark of distinction for a burn center. It is an indicator to government, third-party payors, patients and their families and accreditation organizations that the center provides high-quality patient care and meets the demanding standards for organizational structure, personnel qualifications, facilities resources and medical care services set out in the ABA chapter on Guidelines for the Operation of Burn Centers, in the ACS publication on Resources for Optimal Care of the Injured Patient 1999.
