International Center of Excellence for Bariatric Surgery
Livlife Hospitals Awarded the International Center of Excellence for Bariatric and Metabolic SurgeryThe American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) identified the need to recognize surgeons and facilities that provide superior bariatric surgery patient care and promote optimal levels of performance. The ASMBS founded Surgical Review Corporation (SRC) in 2003 to advance the safety, efficacy and efficiency of bariatric and metabolic surgical care. Today, SRC is the world’s leading administrator of center of excellence (COE) programs for surgical specialties. The programs SRC manages are focused on improving the safety and quality of patient care worldwide, and lowering the overall costs associated with successful treatment.
OSSI COE- Designation Awarded to the Surgeon and Hospital
Truly excellent patient care is the result of both the individual surgeon and the hospital at which the surgery is performed. The OSSI designation is therefore awarded together to the surgeon and their hospital, which enables patients to distinguish providers who have met the requirements from delivering high-quality perioperative and long-term follow-up care from those who do not.
