Faith Regional Health Services Awarded Hospital and Home Care

 Accreditation from The Joint Commission

We are proud to announce that Faith Regional Health Services has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval^® for Hospital and Home Care Accreditation by demonstrating continuous compliance with its performance standards.

The Gold Seal is a symbol of quality that reflects a health care organization’s commitment to providing safe and quality patient care.

Faith Regional underwent a rigorous, unannounced onsite review. During the visit, a team of Joint Commission reviewers evaluated compliance with Faith Regional Health Services and Home Care standards spanning several areas, including emergency management, infection control and leadership.

The Joint Commission’s standards are developed in consultation with health care experts and providers, measurement experts, and patients. They are informed by scientific literature and expert consensus to help health care organizations measure, assess, and improve performance. The surveyors also conducted onsite observations and interviews.

“As a healthcare accreditor, The Joint Commission works with healthcare organizations across care settings to inspire safer and higher quality of care that is more equitable and compassionate,” says Ken Grubbs, DNP, MBA, RN, executive vice president of Accreditation and Certification Operations and chief nursing officer, The Joint Commission. “Through collaborating on innovative solutions and evidence-based resources and tools, The Joint Commission helps drive improvement while maintaining accountability through our leading survey methods and standards. We commend Faith Regional Health Services for its commitment to advance safety, quality, equity and compassion for all patients.”

Faith Regional Health Services assesses compliance with standards and regulations by following a patient’s or process’ journey through the facility. It involves observing real-time interactions and evaluating the effectiveness of policies, procedures, and systems. This ensures we identify potential areas for improvement and ensure continuous survey readiness.

“Achieving Joint Commission accreditation reflects the commitment of our entire team to providing the highest standard of safe, quality care to our community each and every day.” Brandon Morfeld, Faith Regional Health Services Vice President of Quality, Performance Improvement, and Mission Services.
