The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) is the nation’s leading professional body for emergency physicians and sets the standard for emergency medical care. We believe it is our duty to provide our members with best practices for their patients. It is also our duty to provide the public with the best care that meets their needs and to provide the public assurance that the emergency department (ED) they visit will provide quality care. To that end, ACEP created the following accreditation programs to improve the quality of acute care to patients.
