UMass Memorial receives spinal surgery distinction
UMass Memorial Medical Center has received a Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts distinction for its spinal surgeries.
The health insurer named UMass Memorial Medical Center a Blue Distinction Center for Spine Surgery last week, adding the Worcester hospital to the list of nationally designated health care facilities that deliver improved patient safety and better health outcomes, based on BCBS measures. Blue Distinction Centers for Spine Surgery need to be nationally accredited and demonstrate expertise in a number of spinal procedures, resulting in fewer complications and readmissions compared to other hospitals, according to a release from UMass Memorial.
The spine surgery distinction is part of the Blue Distinction Specialty Care program, which includes other accolades for different forms of care. UMass Memorial has received a number of these designations, including for their liver transplants and other specialty care.
