Don Stelly - Executive Vice President and COO
LHC Group
Lafayette, LA
Being accredited by The Joint Commission is a key motivator and a differentiator for our entire organization as we continue to strive to be the “best of class” in the health care industry.
Joint Commission accreditation provides our organization with a blueprint from which to systematically review our processes and develop ways to improve our services.
For our staff, the accreditation process serves as both a reminder and a mechanism through which we can continuously focus on improving our levels of service, quality and patient satisfaction.
As a health care CEO, I am well aware that The Joint Commission is the “gold standard” for quality among health care providers. Simply put, no other accreditation carries the kind of influence and approval that The Joint Commission brings to a health care organization.
