ACOG Scope Recertification
Recertified for Patient Safety Processes by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
New England OB-GYN has been awarded Safety Certification in Outpatient Practice Excellence (SCOPE) for Women’s Health Program certification. SCOPE is a safety focused program of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). We are among the first ob-gyn offices in the country to be certified.
SCOPE is a comprehensive patient safety review program available to medical practices in which obstetrics and/or gynecology services are provided. SCOPE assesses the implementation and use of patient safety concepts and techniques in the office setting. Participation in the SCOPE program is voluntarily and certification is provided based on a set SCOPE criteria. Patient safety is essential to providing optimal health care for women, and implementation of patient safety measures can reduce medical errors and risk, and lead to positive patient outcomes. By achieving SCOPE certification, New England OB-GYN has demonstrated excellence in patient safety processes.
We are committed to helping improve patient safety. Pursuing and achieving certification through ACOG’s SCOPE program allowed us to better understand their strengths, and enhance our already robust patient safety practices.
