After being named the best hospital in the state in the November 2024 ranking of the best private hospitals in México, Star Médica Mérida has reached a new milestone: it has received the Level 3 Certification in the International Patient Safety Model, awarded by the Canadian Healthcare Council.
At Hospital Star Médica Mérida, patient safety and well-being are the top priority. Proof of this is the recent Level 3 Certification from the Canadian Healthcare Council–a global patient safety model that recognizes process-driven methodologies designed to achieve excellence in medical care.
This achievement places Star Médica Mérida among the best hospitals in southeastern México. Under the leadership of General Director Hugo Herbert Boehm Calero and Medical Director Dr. Celia Rodríguez Pech, the hospital ensures that every patient receives care that meets the highest quality standards. Through its Star Médica Quality and Excellence Management System, the institution guarantees that all aspects of hospital care—including a safe environment, sufficient priority services, trained personnel, and high-quality supplies and medical devices—are available in a timely manner.
The Canadian Healthcare Council model recognizes best practices in hospital care. In the case of Star Médica Mérida, the following areas were acknowledged:
- Imaging Department – Data analysis through indicators linked to facility environments.
- Biomedical Engineering – Data integration for decision-making.
- Hospital Epidemiological Surveillance Unit – Analysis of antimicrobial resistance.
- Human Resources – Development of recruitment phase indicators.
- General Management and Organizational Leadership – Promoting a culture of patient safety.
With this certification, Star Médica Mérida reaffirms its commitment to patient quality and safety, continually working to provide excellent hospital services. With 19 years of operation, Star Médica Mérida has built a cutting-edge infrastructure that meets the highest technological standards. As part of its ongoing commitment to innovation and medical excellence, the hospital will soon inaugurate its new multi-specialty smart operating room, designed to provide comprehensive patient care.
