Norman Regional has been accredited by the Center for Improvement in Healthcare Quality as a Center of Excellence for its OBED (Obstetrical Emergency Department) located inside the Norman Regional HealthPlex.
This distinction marks the first time a health system has been recognized for obstetrical emergency care. Norman Regional will now serve as a blueprint across the nation for other health systems hoping to be recognized for their OBED.
“This certification validates the importance of the OBED,” said Dr. Kinde Aguilar, Ob Hospitalist Group site director at Norman Regional HealthPlex.
Norman Regional’s Health-Plex is home to the OBED, as well as a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Mother Baby and Labor and Delivery Units.
“We are very excited and honored to receive this prestigious recognition. From the beginning, we have strived to ensure that our OB Emergency Services provide excellence in practice and serves as a model program for evidenced based care,” said Annette Troxell, RN, Norman Regional’s director of Women & Children’s Services.
