CCMH Earns Joint Commission Accreditation
Charles Cole Memorial Hospital has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of ApprovalTM for accreditation for its critical access hospital, Medicare/Medicaid certification-based long term care, and home care programs. CCMH achieved its most recent accreditation following rigorous on site surveys for each of the programs in March in which the hospital again demonstrated compliance with The Joint Commission’s national standards for quality and safety.
CCMH has sought Joint Commission accreditation for more than 20 years. Accreditation is earned following an unannounced, on site survey in which a team of expert surveyors evaluate the hospital, long term care unit and home care to determine standards of care for patients including safety, infection prevention and control, leadership and medication management. “This is another validation of the high quality of healthcare that Charles Cole Memorial Hospital provides to our community,” said Cindi Hardesty, CCMH vice president and chief nurse executive. “We can be very proud to work here where quality and safety are the priorities.” “It is an honor to once again be accredited by The Joint Commission, an internationally recognized leader in the development of standards to assess the quality and safety of healthcare delivery,” said Lucy Lajcsak, CCMH patient safety officer. “Attainment of accreditation for all of our programs not only demonstrates the hospital’s compliance with rigorous accrediting standards and its commitment to excellence, but also the dedication of the entire workforce and medical staff to a common purpose - to provide safe, high quality care to those we serve.”
Founded in 1951, The Joint Commission seeks to continuously improve healthcare for the public, in collaboration with other stakeholders, by evaluating healthcare organizations and inspiring them to excel in providing safe and effective care of the highest quality and value. The Joint Commission evaluates and accredits more than 18,000 healthcare organizations and programs in the U.S. An independent, not-for-profit organization, The Joint Commission is the nation’s oldest and largest standards setting and accrediting body in healthcare.
