The Operating Room
Arundel Mills Surgery Center is a medicare certified facility, this means that we meet the standards for safety and quality, set by the U.S government. There are many classes of operating rooms. The class designation determines the extent of procedures that can be safely performed.
We are one of only 5 centers in the state of Maryland, that falls under the class C standards outlined by Medicare and AAASF. There are numerous other centers that meet part of the accreditation criteria for each agency, however, very few centers nationwide meet the criteria for both agencies.
The class C designation is the highest level of certification possible. Centers with the class C designation are certified to perform procedures under all types of anesthesia. It is awarded to facilities after rigorous inspection, and verification of strict healthcare guidelines.
Accreditation allows for the best assurance of safety, quality and efficiency.
The class C designation by Medicare, and AAAASF includes all of the following:
- Strict Criteria for operating room size, with rooms being greater than 400 square feet.
- Specific, targeted air filtration systems that provide continuous air ex-changes within the center, that continuously filter the air, to pro-mote the sterile environment.
- Strict infection control programs, and quality assurance protocols
- Rigorous administration, to ensure physician and nursing staffing and credentials. Our administration staff was trained by prestigious Johns Hopkins Healthcare System.
- Maintenance of all state guidelines needed for re-certification.
- Our center is fully equipped with a back up power system as well as an entirely separate electrical system to provide emergency power supply in the event of a power outage.
Recovery
Our PACU unit is fully staffed by a team of experienced RN’s and surgical staff, they continue to monitor our patients post procedure, and attend to their needs. After anesthesia, our patients are able to discuss any post op care with the surgical staff and stay in the recovery unit until they feel they are ready to fully recuperate at home.
We also have adjacent “beauty suites” provided by Spring Hill by Marriott. These newly renovated rooms are designed specifically for Arundel Mills Surgery Center clients, and feature all the amenities that a post procedure client may desire. These suites are adjacent to our center.
When clients elect to stay overnight after their procedure at the adjacent suite, they feel reassured that the surgery center and staff is just a few feet away. Patients are taken by nursing staff to their suite, post recovery. The following morning, the surgeon and his assistant will then perform his post operative visit in the comfort and privacy of the suite. For those clients who request a caregiver, we can provide nursing staff to accompany them overnight.
