As of this time, only 167 endoscopy units have earned the ASGE's recognition throughout the United States. Earning this recognition is an indication of the high quality of care found at Moline's Regional Surgicenter.
"We are honored to be recognized by ASGE for our efforts to enhance quality and safety in our Surgicenter," said Dr. Rao Movva, President and Medical Director of the Regional Surgicenter and Gastroenterology Consultants, S.C.
The ASGE Endoscopy Unit Recognition Program honors endoscopy units that follow the ASGE guidelines on specialized training, quality assurance, and CDC (Centers for Disease Control) infection control guidelines, as well as completing the training on prin-ciples in quality and safety in endoscopy.
The Regional Surgicenter is an outpatient Ambulatory Surgery Center, providing Gastrointestional endoscopy and related procedures, and also provides multi-specialty surgical procedures.
