    Even before The Joint Commission’s Health Care Staffing Services Certification program was available, Clinical One was committed to high quality standards and used Joint Commission standards to improve our services. Going through the certification process helped us establish clearer guidelines and procedures and more specific ways to measure our progress in achieving our own quality standards.

    Accreditation is a good sensitizer to patient and staff satisfaction and efficiency. It makes the case for patient-centered care. We initiated a new program, Patient Safety Fridays, where staff go to different areas and focus on different aspects of safety. This has had a strong effect on the institution and has powerfully improved staff morale.

    Our 2006 survey identified areas where we could do better, and this received some negative media coverage. We were able to turn a negative story into a positive experience by redoubling our commitment to disclosing quality and safety performance. As a result, we are a stronger institution, more committed than ever to excellence every day in the care and services we deliver.
