Choosing the right surgical center can be a daunting decision, especially if the patient is your child. Pediatric surgery requires a specialized set of skills, equipment, and facilities, so there are a number of factors to consider when narrowing down the field to determine which medical facility will best suit needs of your loved one.
Take these considerations into account when choosing a pediatric surgery center in Phoenix or Scottsdale:
Accreditation � Make sure that the surgery center in question is properly accredited, including an accreditation from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) for hospitals or the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Healthcare (AAAH) for outpatient surgical centers. This accreditation is an excellent sign that the medical center in question is a reputable organization that puts the well being of its patients above all else.
Board certified pediatric surgeons � Find a hospital that has one or more pediatric surgeons that are experienced in treating or operating on your child�s condition. A pediatric surgeon certified by the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) is a doctor that has undergone years of schooling, residency requirements, and extensive training in pediatric care. What�s more, in order to maintain this board certification, ABP-certified surgeons undergo continuing education so that they can stay abreast of the latest developments in pediatric medicine and patient safety, and are periodically submitted to both oral and written exams to test their competency.
Child anesthesiologists � Similarly, ensure that the hospital where you plan to have the child in question�s procedure has a board certified pediatric anesthesiologists. Specialized knowledge of how to administer anesthesia to a child is a must for any major procedure, if for nothing else than the volume of anesthesia appropriate for adults could be seriously harmful to a child. Granted, no anesthesiologist would ever use the same volume of anesthesia on a child, but getting just the right amount of anesthesia to keep a patient sedated and under no pain is often a careful balancing game best left to accredited child anesthesiologists. Much like pediatric surgeons, first-rate child anesthesiologists will be certified by the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP), but they should also have a second certification with the American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA).
Family centered care � It�s important especially in pediatric medicine for hospitals to understand that the family is the child�s main source of support. Good pediatric hospitals encourage family-centered care, which means that parents and other family members are encouraged to stay with the child and take an active part in the child�s recovery. Love and support from family members is especially important during the recovery period after a surgery, and good pediatric hospitals understand this. Look for hospitals that not only preach family care, but that offer support services and private accommodations for families to stay with and help care for their children.
Trauma capabilities � Hospitals are rated by the American College of Surgeons (ACS) from Trauma Level I (comprehensive care) to Level III (limited care) providers. In order to ensure the best results for your child�s surgery, ensure that the hospital you are using is certified as a Level I or Level II Pediatric Trauma Center. Even if you�re child�s surgery is for a relatively common condition, complications can arise or new facts may come to light, so having a hospital with comprehensive pediatric trauma facilities and surgical capabilities is always a good idea. Level I Pediatric Trauma Centers typically have full facilities for orthopedics, radiology, anesthesiology, cardiology, neurology, and emergency medicine, enabling them to treat patients with conditions ranging across the spectrum.
By keeping all of these criteria in mind during your search, you will hopefully have all you need to find the right pediatric surgery center for your child in Phoenix or Scottsdale, AZ.
