What's the Word on Accreditation?
"It really keeps us on our toes - makes sure that we do the right thing for the patient all the time. That we’re aware, constantly aware, and continually trying to strive for the best safety and quality we can provide to our patients."
Patricia O'Bryant
Director of Accreditation Programs and Joint Commission Corporate Liaison
Department of Veterans Affairs

"This was an opportunity for staff to share what they thought about patient care. And we had some amazing discoveries of processes/problems that we didn’t know about just from actually going around with the surveyor."
