MemorialCare Excels Again in Ambulatory Surgery Center Rankings
MemorialCare's Outstanding Achievement in Surgery Center Ratings
U.S. News & World Report has released its highly regarded second edition of the "Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers" ratings, evaluating nearly 4,300 surgical facilities across multiple specialties, including Colonoscopy & Endoscopy, Ophthalmology, Orthopedics & Spine, and Urology.
Recognition for Excellence
This year, several centers under the MemorialCare umbrella stood out with the "High Performing" designation. Notably, the MemorialCare Outpatient Surgical Center Long Beach was recognized for its excellence in Ophthalmology. Similarly, the MemorialCare Digestive Care Center and MemorialCare Surgical Center in Laguna Woods received honors for Colonoscopy & Endoscopy and Orthopedics & Spine, respectively.
Commitment to Patient Care
David Kim, M.D., CEO of MemorialCare Medical Foundation, stated, "Same-day procedures are becoming a vital part of value-based health care. They not only enhance convenience and reduce costs for patients but also improve key quality metrics. We are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of outpatient surgical care to ensure top-quality treatment for our patients, consistent with MemorialCare's mission."
Objective Evaluation Criteria
The rigorous evaluation conducted by U.S. News & World Report included objective, risk-adjusted metrics concerning patient outcomes, emphasizing the centers' abilities to minimize complications, emergency interventions, unplanned hospitalizations, and other negative outcomes. Factors such as pre-existing conditions were also considered to provide a level playing field in comparisons.
High Standards in Surgery Centers
The "Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers" designation is not easily achieved. Out of the centers evaluated, only 16% achieved the coveted "High Performing" rating, a clear indicator of excellence and high standards within the ambulatory surgery arena.
The Impact of Dedicated Teams
"Being acknowledged as one of the 'Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers' reflects the relentless dedication and effort of our clinical leaders and care teams," remarked Annamarie Jones, COO of MemorialCare Medical Foundation. "Their focus on safety, quality, and innovation has been crucial in reaching this milestone, and it is a true honor for our facilities to be recognized by such a prestigious organization."
