FOUNTAIN
VALLEY, Calif., July 3, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- U.S. News & World Report, the
global authority in hospital rankings and consumer advice, debuted
its first edition of "Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers" ratings of
outpatient surgical centers. Among the centers receiving the "High
Performing" rating are MemorialCare Outpatient Surgical Center Long
Beach for Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers for Colonoscopy
& Endoscopy, MemorialCare Digestive Care Center at
Saddleback Medical Center for Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers
for Colonoscopy & Endoscopy, and MemorialCare Surgical
Center at Saddleback Medical Center for Best Ambulatory
Surgery Centers for Orthopedics & Spine, all of which are part
of our MemorialCare joint venture.
"Same-day outpatient procedures play an increasingly prominent
role in health care," said David
Kim, M.D., chief executive officer, MemorialCare Medical
Foundation. "We are honored to have our ambulatory surgical centers
recognized by U.S. News & World Report. Our teams are driven by
our mission to provide the highest quality care and achieve the
best outcomes for our patients."
U.S. News & World Report rated nearly
5,000 surgery centers in four separate specialty areas: Colonoscopy
& Endoscopy, Ophthalmology, Orthopedics & Spine, and
Urology. Ambulatory surgery centers were evaluated based entirely
on objective, risk-adjusted measures of their patients' outcomes,
including how successfully they avoided complications, emergency
room visits, unplanned hospitalizations, and other undesirable
outcomes.
The analysis accounted for patient factors, including
pre-existing conditions, to ensure fair comparisons. U.S.
News & World Report awards the designation of "Best
Ambulatory Surgery Centers" only to the highest-rated surgical
centers that satisfy U.S. News' statistical assessment of
performance; fewer than 15% of evaluated facilities earned a "High
Performing" rating.
"Being named among the 'Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers' is a
testament to the hard work and dedication of our care teams and
strong partnerships," Annamarie
Jones, chief operating officer, MemorialCare Medical
Foundation. "Their focus on patient safety, quality, and innovation
has made this achievement possible. We will continue to push the
boundaries of what is possible in outpatient surgical care to
ensure our patients receive the best possible treatment."
