HCA Florida Palms West Hospital earns reaccrediation as a Center of Excellence in Robotic Surgery

HCA Florida Palms West Hospital recently achieved reaccreditation from SRC as a Center of Excellence in Robotic Surgery, recognizing HCA Florida Palms West Hospital’s commitment and high standard of delivery of quality patient care and safety.

Reaccreditation as a Center of Excellence in Robotic Surgery means that HCA Florida Palms West Hospital continues to meet nationally and internationally recognized standards.

“HCA Florida Palms West Hospital remains committed to our robotics-first surgical approach for the best patient outcomes,” said Dr. Jason Kimbrell, chief executive officer of HCA Florida Palms West Hospital. “In fact, we are currently building our next generation hospital patient tower with 42 private rooms dedicated to the patients of our Center of Excellence in Robotics Surgery.”

In 2022, HCA Florida Palms West Hospital was the first hospital in Palm Beach County to earn this achievement. The accreditation process is completed every three years.

Healthcare facilities and surgeons seeking SRC accreditation undergo an extensive assessment and inspection process to ensure the applicant meets SRC’s proven standards and requirements. These requirements include surgical volumes, facility equipment, clinical pathways and standardized operating procedures, an emphasis on patient education and continuous quality assessment. Inspectors educate staff in the accredited departments on best practices to help an organization improve its care and services. Not all pursue accreditation, and among those who do, not all meet the standards to earn it.

“We’re proud to recognize HCA Florida Palms West Hospital for its commitment to advancing and providing quality care for all patients,” said Gary M. Pratt, CEO of SRC. “This accreditation signals that this facility is among the best in this specialty and is dedicated to delivering the highest level of care possible.”
