Sutter Neuroscience Institute Receives "Center of Excellence" Designation 02-12-2007
February 12, 2007 | Sacramento, CA
Sutter Neuroscience Institute at Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento is among the nation's top neuroscience programs, and designated as a Neuroscience Center of Excellence (COE), according to the 2006 Neuroscience Center of Excellence Survey, co-sponsored by NeuroSource, Inc., Chicago, IL and HealthTech, San Francisco, CA.
The 2006 survey, the only one of its kind in the neurosciences, analyzed 150 neuroscience programs, across 41 states. A hospital's overall performance is determined by measuring program progress in four key areas: Clinical and Research Programs, Staff, Facilities & Technology, and Business.
2006 marks the third annual year for the Neuroscience COE Survey. The annual assessment evaluated 150 hospital-based programs, and only 42% of those programs received sufficient scores to be recognized as a 2006 Neuroscience Center of Excellence.
"Center of Excellence designees represent many of the leading, innovative programs across the country, and Sutter Neuroscience Institute is proud to be acknowledged for our multidisciplinary approach and commitment to the highest standards of neurological and neurosurgical patient care, including treatment of the head, neck, and spine," says Chris Wood, Director of Sutter Neuroscience Institute.
Samuel F. Ciricillo, MD, FACS, medical director of Sutter Neuroscience Institute, comments, "The survey findings underscore the importance of Sutter Neuroscience Institute's multi-specialty approach to care. In addition to offering the most comprehensive range of neurological specialists, Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento has state-of-the-art neuro-imaging technology, and as a result, offers the most comprehensive range of neurological specialists and patient services in Northern California."
