Background Information

After surveying hospitals and healthcare systems around the United States, ISE identified a strong desire for a unified credentialing process for surgeons using robotic platforms. ISE hosted two Robotic Surgery Credentialing Consensus Conferences, bringing together representatives from institutions with extensive robotic surgery credentialing experience, surgical societies, medical associations, government, and industry. This group is developing standards for both initial and renewed credentialing of robotic surgeons to promote the highest quality and safety of surgical care.

Working Groups Define Credentialing Criteria

 

01. Prerequisite Education and Training Qualifications

02. Assessing the Surgeon’s Performance - Quantitative Metrics

03. Ongoing Monitoring and Surveillance
