Positive JCAHO Surveys Prove Staff Dedication
The results of a recent survey by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations proved that quality services and patient care are the topmost priorities for employees at Southcoast Hospitals Group.
"All of our hospitals had excellent reviews, thanks to the continued hard work of employees throughout the organization," said Ronald B. Goodspeed, MD, MPH, President of Southcoast Hospitals Group. "Every one of our hospitals scored above the national average for the survey."
An independent, non-profit organization, the Joint Commission evaluates and accredits nearly 18,000 healthcare organizations and programs in the United States. JCAHO accreditation enhances an organization's performance and is recognized nationwide as a "symbol of quality."
"The surveyors were very impressed with the quality of care being provided, our many innovative programs, our progress on new standards relative to pain management and patient safety," Goodspeed said. "It was clear to them that quality and caring are our top priorities."
