The Joint Commission conferred the certification in collaboration with the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, according to a Jan. 23 press release from UHS.
UHS spent the last year trying to earn the certification, forming a multidisciplinary team under the leadership of Simone Betchen, MD, chief of neurosciences at UHS.
The team includes representatives from various patient care areas, including nursing, quality management and neurosurgery, along with other members of the spine surgery program.
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.
