Surgical Excellence was created by respected patient safety experts, risk management professionals, clinicians and others whose mission is to enhance the quality of care and patient safety while reducing professional liability risk, including a niche in surgical specialties. It does so through combined medical, legal, and risk expertise based on proven evidence-based best practices, quality standards and protocols, and evidence-based tools and strategies.
As the result of healthcare reform, changing reimbursement models and the need to improve quality and efficiency while reducing costs, more and more procedures are moving into the outpatient Ambulatory Surgery Center setting. This change in delivery model, and the short term interaction with the patients that ensues, present inherent risks and threats to patient safety.
Surgical Excellence has worked with bariatric practices both domestically and internationally in a variety of settings. Our services have included feasibility studies, marketing plans, functional analysis, preparing for Center of Excellence audits, evaluating never events and more.
Reimbursement models based on outcomes are moving surgical practices and departments to become more efficient both operationally and clinically. Surgical Excellence can work with you and your team to create processes that will focus on quality, safety and improved patient outcomes. Working with our team of surgeons, nurses, risk management and safety experts, your team will come together to focus on the patient, using evidence-based best practices and quality standards and protocols.
Surgical Excellence brings together some of the most experienced endoscopic specialists and risk management experts to assist in minimizing technical failures, improve processes and provide onsite training so that serious complications are averted and patient safety and outcomes are improved.
