St. Mary Medical Center recently achieved reaccreditation from Surgical Review Corporation (SRC) as a Center of Excellence in robotic surgery and minimally invasive gynecology.
This reaccreditation recognizes St. Mary Medical Center’s commitment and high standard of delivery of quality patient care and safety. Status as an accredited Center of Excellence means that St. Mary Medical Center has met nationally and internationally recognized standards. Not all pursue accreditation, and among those who do, not all meet the standards to earn it.
“This achievement is the result of the dedication of our physicians, nurses and staff who continually strive to advance surgical care, enhance patient safety and improve outcomes,” said Leo Correa, CEO of St. Mary Medical Center. “Most importantly, it gives our patients confidence that they are receiving care that meets rigorous national and international standards."
Healthcare facilities and surgeons seeking a SRC accreditation undergo an extensive assessment and inspection process to ensure the applicant meets SRC’s proven standards and requirements. These requirements include surgical volumes, facility equipment, clinical pathways and standardized operating procedures, an emphasis on patient education and continuous quality assessment. Inspectors educate staff in the accredited departments on best practices to help an organization improve its care and services.
“We’re proud to recognize St. Mary Medical Center for its commitment to advancing and providing quality care for all patients,” said Gary M. Pratt, CEO of SRC. “This accreditation signals that this facility is among the best in this specialty and is dedicated to delivering the highest level of care possible.”
