Standards

UHMS accreditation reflects a level of care that goes beyond simply providing hyperbaric oxygen therapy. It is a designation earned by a small number of medical facilities that meet stringent professional standards in hyperbaric medicine.

In a field where there are no uniformly required standards, most facilities operate without independent accreditation. Earning UHMS accreditation requires a thorough external review of a clinic’s medical protocols, clinical equipment, safety systems, staff qualifications, and operational practices. The importance of accredited care is also reflected in guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which advises that when hyperbaric oxygen therapy is recommended, treatment should be delivered at a UHMS-accredited facility.

Accreditation provides reassurance that care is delivered within a clearly defined medical framework, guided by established standards rather than individual practice alone.

Safety

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves controlled exposure to increased oxygen levels and pressure, which makes safety protocols essential. UHMS accreditation ensures that hyperbaric care is delivered within a medical framework designed to anticipate, monitor, and carefully manage potential risks.

As part of the accreditation process, clinics are evaluated on emergency preparedness, equipment monitoring, staff training, and safety procedures specific to hyperbaric environments. This includes protocols to prevent and respond to rare events, such as fire hazards, and continuous oversight of how treatments are administered. All equipment and procedures are held to strict standards and independent review.

For Aviv Clinics' clients, UHMS accreditation provides confidence that HBOT is delivered in a setting where safety is carefully managed at every stage, creating a secure and controlled environment.
