In 2009, it received re-accreditation and also received JCI accreditation for its specialized stroke center in 2011. SRRSH offers 29 specialties including inpatient and outpatient sections. These include: emergency care, intensive care, and surgery. In totally, SRRSH receives over 1 million patient visits each year.

Management

With its continuous focus on high-quality, patient-centered medical care, the hospital has achieved a level of performance which meets or exceeds national and international benchmarks. Nationally, it leads the way in patient safety categories like limiting patient length of stay and reducing unnecessary drug prescription. The creation of a bed coordination department has increased efficiency in bed use despite 99% bed occupancy by making sure patients have beds available in patient wards instead of being stuck in hallways waiting for rooms to open up. The hospital annually accepts requests from more than 2,500 individuals and institutions who want to visit the facilities and see SRRSH's core values of "honesty, respect, commitment, unity, and excellence”.

International Collaboration

Every year, over 40 staff members receive training overseas in institutions like Loma Linda University Medical Center as well as the Mayo Clinic (USA), Shizuoka General Hospital (Japan), and Cabrini Health (Australia). Annual conferences like SRRSH's Academic Week bring national and international health professionals together to find new solutions in healthcare. SRRSH also welcomes guest professors from around the world who share their expertise in clinical care, research and education. This emphasis has given the hospital a strong cultural understanding and the necessary expertise with which to create positive and economically feasible cross-border relationships, which include staff training programs with institutions in the USA, Australia, Germany and Canada. Reaching SRRSH's vision of "providing the nation's finest care through excellence in research, skills, facilities, service and management" would not be possible without the contributions of experts from around the world.

The highly advanced Heart Center and the JCI-accredited Stroke Centers both emphasize patient-focused care.
