“Since we first opened the hospital nearly five years ago, we have intentionally prioritized the accelerated growth of our robotic program which has also included building an unparalleled team of board-certified, highly-trained surgeons who specialize in robotics program optimization,” said Dr. Steven W. Sukin, physician program director of robotic surgery and board-certified urologist at Houston Methodist The Woodlands Hospital. “This accreditation as a Center of Excellence in Robotic Surgery affirms to our patients that we’re committed to investing in innovation to provide the most advanced medical technologies available to perform delicate or complex procedures with improved outcomes.”

Status as an accredited facility in robotics assisted surgery distinguishes Houston Methodist The Woodlands Hospital as having met rigorous nationally and internationally recognized standards in providing the safest, highest quality of care and surgical services. Health care facilities seeking an SRC accreditation undergo an extensive assessment and inspection process to ensure they meet SRC’s proven standards and requirements.

The SRC examines criteria in surgical experience, program directors, consultative services, equipment and instruments, qualified call coverage, clinical pathways, standardized operating procedures, surgical team and support staff, and patient education. The inspection is consultative and educational, presenting best practices to help an organization or surgeon improve care and services.
