UCSF will provide services in San Mateo
The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors has approved a three-year contract for surgical services at San Mateo Medical Center with the University of California, San Francisco Department of Surgery. The contract will bring a new model of surgical care to SMMC, along with plans to develop a research program in surgical quality improvement and patient safety.
Already providing services is Timothy Chuter, M.D., UCSF associate professor of vascular surgery. Chuter is a pioneer in the field of endovascular surgery, a minimally invasive, catheter-based technique that combines the skills of vascular surgery and interventional radiology. UCSF has the only program in the country that provides comprehensive training in catheter-based and conventional open vascular procedures.
The collaboration will also focus on research that will develop and test new models of delivery of general surgical care. SMMC plans to implement a method for improving care that was pioneered by the Veterans' Administration. Such new and improved models of care are expected to have a widespread impact.
