The Institute of Quality award is given to institutions that have excellent results based on success rates, complications, readmission rates, case volume and cost-effective care, according to a Dec. 9 news release.
Six free-standing surgery centers have received this accreditation.
“We are honored to have earned this designation, which permits us to offer cost-effective, quality care to countless patients covered by Aetna,” Alfonso del Granado, CHPSC administrator said in the release. “No other hospital or surgery center in the area holds this designation.”
The center’s two facilities received the Center of Excellence and Blue Distinction designations last year for bariatric surgery. It has been recognized twice by Newsweek, as a top surgery center in West Texas and in the top 5 percent of surgery centers on the magazine’s “America’s Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers” list.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
