GERMANTOWN, Md. - Nov. 3, 2022 - PRLog -- We are pleased to announce that Holy Cross Germantown Hospital is now officially a Comprehensive Center for Bariatric Surgery as accredited by American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS). Joseph Greene MD, MBA, FACS, FASMBS with Maryland Bariatrics spearheaded the initiative.

What is ASMBS Accreditation?

The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery merged with the American College of Surgeons to form a national bariatric surgery accreditation program. This means there is one national accreditation standard for bariatric surgery centers.

The Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) aims to advance safe, high-quality care for bariatric surgical patients. The accreditation process is a rigorous review that ensures an office can maintain certain physical resources, human resources, and standards of practice.

About MBSAQIP

This program evaluates bariatric centers in the US and Canada. This is an independent, voluntary, rigorous peer evaluation done in accordance with nationally recognized surgical standards. This accreditation promotes uniform standards and supports continuous improvement.

Bariatric surgical procedures can reduce obesity, improve mortality, and decrease the health risks associated with obesity. MBSAQIP recognizes the facilities that implement defined standards of care, documents their outcomes, and participates in regular reviews to further evaluate their bariatric surgical programs.
