The Center for Weight Loss Surgery at Newton-Wellesley Hospital is continuously recognized for excellence in the field of bariatric surgery.
The Center for Weight Loss Surgery at NWH is an accredited center through the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP). This accreditation provides confirmation that a bariatric surgery center has demonstrated its commitment to providing the highest quality care for its bariatric surgery patients, 2016 to present.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts has recognized the Center for Weight Loss Surgery at Newton-Wellesley Hospital with a Center of Blue Distinction+® designation, for making a difference in health care outcomes and value in the area of bariatric surgery.
Blue Distinction is a nationwide program that recognizes medical facilities that meet a national set of objective, evidence-based thresholds for clinical quality developed in collaboration with expert clinicians and leading medical organizations. The “plus” designation illustrates that a facility not only is a center of excellence, but also recognizes how effectively high-quality care is delivered.
Based on clinical data from hospitals and registries, research indicates that Blue Distinction Centers demonstrate better, more consistent overall outcomes with fewer post-procedure complications and lower mortality rates. This designation provides consumers with a credible means of selecting facilities that best meet their individual specialty care needs.
In 2011 Newton-Wellesley was designated as an Aetna Institutes™ of Quality for Bariatric Surgery. Aetna recognizes hospitals and facilities in its network that offer specialized clinical services for certain health conditions. Facilities are selected for consistently delivering evidence-based, safe care.
