Core offering

Surgical Review Corporation develops and administers best-in-class accreditation programs for hospitals, freestanding outpatient facilities, surgeons, and allied health professionals worldwide. Its Center of Excellence, Master Surgeon, Care Specialist, and Network of Excellence designations recognize adherence to rigorous patient safety and quality standards through a five-step inspection process conducted by full-time employee inspectors every three years. SRC also offers Designee Services including Marketing & Communications support and a Quality Improvement benchmarking program powered by an aggregated Outcomes Database, plus a public Find a Provider directory that connects patients to accredited providers.

Product overview

Surgical Review Corporation (SRC) is a nonprofit healthcare accreditation organization offering a portfolio of credentialing programs rather than a traditional technology product. The core offerings include facility-level Center of Excellence accreditations (for hospitals and outpatient facilities), individual Master Surgeon accreditations for medical professionals, and Care Specialist accreditations for allied health personnel. SRC also offers Network of Excellence designations for multi-facility healthcare systems. Supplementary services include Marketing & Communications support and Quality Improvement (QI) benchmarking tools through the Designee Services program. The Find a Provider tool connects patients to accredited providers. The company administers over 30 accreditation programs spanning specialties including robotic surgery, metabolic/bariatric surgery, minimally invasive gynecology, hernia surgery, colorectal surgery, orthopedic surgery, urology, Mohs micrographic surgery, and more.

Direct peers

• The Joint Commission: The largest US hospital accreditation body, operating in the same healthcare accreditation category as SRC with overlapping hospital and ambulatory care programs. It is the dominant incumbent SRC competes against for facility-level accreditation wins.
• Joint Commission International (JCI): The global arm of The Joint Commission, directly competing with SRC for international hospital accreditation across the same Middle East, European, and Latin American markets where SRC has designees. Closest direct competitor in cross-border accreditation.
• DNV Healthcare: Provides hospital accreditation integrating ISO 9001 quality management standards, competing head-to-head with SRC and JCI for US hospital business. Directly comparable as a third-party healthcare accreditation body with full-time surveyor staff.
• Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC): Accredits ambulatory and outpatient facilities, overlapping with SRC's accreditation of 'freestanding outpatient facilities' and surgical centers. Comparable as a specialty-focused accreditation body serving similar outpatient provider customers.
• Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC): Offers accreditation programs across multiple provider settings (having absorbed HFAP), competing with SRC for hospital and ambulatory accreditation revenue. Directly comparable as a multi-setting healthcare accreditation competitor.
• Community Health Accreditation Partner (CHAP): Accredits home health, hospice, and community-based providers — adjacent to SRC's accreditation portfolio and similarly structured around site inspections and quality standards. Comparable as a programmatic accreditation competitor.

Broad incumbents

• National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA): A broader healthcare quality organization focused on health plans, patient-centered medical homes, and provider credentials — overlapping with SRC's quality-improvement and credentialing scope but serving adjacent, plan-level customers rather than surgical facilities.
• CARF International: Accredits rehabilitation, behavioral health, and human services providers — adjacent to SRC's specialty accreditation model. Comparable as a mission-driven, third-party accreditation body but serving a different provider niche.

Emerging players

• Utilization Review Accreditation Commission (URAC): Accredits healthcare organizations across utilization management, specialty pharmacy, and telehealth — partially overlapping SRC's quality oversight model. Comparable as a healthcare accreditation body with a different program emphasis.

Others

• ISO (International Organization for Standardization): Publishes healthcare quality standards (e.g., ISO 9001) that competing accreditors like DNV integrate into hospital surveys. SRC itself is not an ISO body, but ISO underpins much of the standards-based accreditation landscape SRC competes within.
