Fredericksburg, VA, December 2, 2020 – Stafford Hospital has continued its distinction as an accredited
Center of Excellence in Minimally Invasive Gynecology (COEMIG) since 2014
by the Surgical Review Corporation (SRC). Under the direction of Kurian
Thott, M.D., FACOG, Stafford Hospital’s COEMIG program meets the
stringent researched-based requirements and evaluation processes of SRC
to ensure the safest, highest quality patient care.
The 2020 recertification maintains Dr. Thott’s designation and includes
a new COEMIG certified physician, Dr. Yetunde Adenle. COEMIG physicians
must perform hundreds of minimally invasive gynecological surgeries each
year, with outstanding results, measured by a quality assessment of patient
safety, equipment, and reduced complications.
Stafford Hospital Administrative Director Nursing Operations & Practice,
Debra Marinari, MSN, RN, NE-BC said, “By earning COEMIG re-designation,
Stafford Hospital reaffirms its excellence in delivering safe, high-quality
care to minimally invasive gynecologic surgery patients. Hundreds of such
surgeries are performed at Stafford Hospital each year under Dr. Thott’s
leadership and clinical expertise. As a result, our patients experience
outstanding outcomes and a better quality of life.”
Healthcare organizations and surgeons seeking accreditation by SRC undergo
an extensive self-assessment and inspection. This process includes physicians,
nurses and administrators who are actively involved in the accredited
program. The inspection is consultative and educational, presenting best
practices to help an organization or surgeon improve its care and services.
“We’re proud to recognize Stafford Hospital for their commitment
to advancing and providing quality care for all patients,” said
Gary M. Pratt, CEO of SRC. “This accreditation signals that this
hospital is among the best in this specialty and is dedicated to delivering
the highest level of care possible.”
