OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Paul Jacob recently became the first orthopedic surgeon to achieve accreditation from the Surgical Review Corporation (SRC) as a Master Surgeon in Joint Replacement and Robotic Joint Replacement. This distinguished accreditation recognizes Dr. Jacob's commitment to providing the highest quality of care to patients undergoing joint replacement surgery.

Status as an accredited Master Surgeon means that Dr. Jacob has met internationally recognized standards of excellence. Not all hospitals and surgeons seek accreditation; not all that undergo the rigorous inspection process are granted accreditation.

"I commit a significant amount of time and resources to investigating clinical research that will positively impact patient care and encourage patients and their families to be active participants in that care."

Health care facilities and surgeons seeking an SRC accreditation undergo an extensive assessment and inspection process to ensure the applicant meets SRC's proven standards and requirements. These requirements include surgical volumes, facility equipment, clinical pathways and standardized operating procedures, an emphasis on patient education and continuous quality assessment. Inspectors educate staff in the accredited departments on best practices to help an organization improve its care and services.

"We're proud to recognize Dr. Paul Jacob for his commitment to advancing and providing quality care for all patients," said Gary M. Pratt, CEO of SRC.
