Flushing Hospital Medical Center recently earned accreditation from SRC (Surgical Review Corporation) as a Center of Excellence in four areas of specialization: minimally invasive surgery, hernia surgery, minimally invasive gynecology, and robotic surgery. This accreditation recognizes Flushing Hospital’s commitment to and high standard of delivering quality patient care and safety.
SRC is an internationally recognized, nonprofit, patient safety organization dedicated to recognizing and refining surgical care. SRC accredits the top hospitals, surgeons and health professionals worldwide that meet its proven standards. Receiving status as an accredited Center of Excellence means that Flushing Hospital has met nationally and internationally recognized standards. Not all organizations or healthcare providers pursue accreditation, and among those who do, not all meet the standards to earn it.
Healthcare facilities and surgeons seeking an 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.
Earning the distinction as an SRC Center of Excellence is a testament to Flushing Hospital’s utilization of advanced surgical technologies, application of proven methodologies, and patient-centered approach to healthcare.
“We’re proud to recognize Flushing Hospital 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.”
“Flushing Hospital has been designated a center of excellence in robotic, minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, minimally invasive general surgery, bariatric, and hernia surgery. We recently underwent the rigorous Center of Excellence review and certification, providing our data and outcomes, and have demonstrated that we are among the best in the world. We are proud of our surgical team and look forward to continuing to provide the best care possible for our community,” said Dr. Noman Khan, Chairman of Robotic Surgery.
