Baptist Health Medical Center-Little Rock and Baptist Health Medical Center-North Little Rock have earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for Advanced Certification in Spine Surgery (ACSS) by demonstrating continuous compliance with its performance standards. The Gold Seal is a symbol of quality that reflects a health care organization’s commitment to providing safe and quality patient care.
“Achieving Advanced Certification in Spine Surgery reflects the collective dedication of our surgical teams, nurses, and rehabilitation specialists to deliver the safest, most effective spine care possible," said Dr. Blake Phillips, Medical Director of Baptist Health’s Spine Program for Little Rock and North Little Rock. “This recognition underscores our commitment to evidence-based practice, data-driven outcomes, and continuous improvement — ensuring every patient receives the highest standard of spine care from consultation through recovery.”
Offered in collaboration with the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the certification helps organizations provide consistent communication and collaboration among all health care providers involved in the care of the patient – from the pre-surgical consultation with the spine surgeon to the intraoperative, hospitalization, rehabilitation activities, and then the follow-up visit with the surgeon.
