ACCREDITED HOSPICES OF AMERICA AWARDED GOLD SEAL OF APPROVAL FROM THE JOINT COMMISSION

HOUSTON, TX, JUNE 12, 2015, Accredited Hospices of America today announced that it has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for Hospice Accreditation by demonstrating continuous compliance with its performance standards. The Gold Seal of Approval® is a symbol of quality that reflects an organization’s commitment to providing safe and effective care.

Accredited Hospices of America underwent a rigorous on-site survey in June, 2015. During the survey, compliance with hospice care standards reflecting key organization areas was evaluated, including the provision of care, treatment and services, emergency management, human resources, individual rights and responsibilities, and leadership.

Established in 1988, The Joint Commission’s Hospice Accreditation program supports the efforts of its accredited organizations to help deliver safe, high quality care and services. Accreditation by The Joint Commission and the gold seal serve as an indication that the organization has demonstrated compliance to these recognized standards of safe and quality care.”

Accredited Hospices of America is pleased to receive accreditation from The Joint Commission, the premier health care quality improvement and accrediting body in the nation,” added Jerry Mosbacher, Administrator, Accredited Hospices of America. “Staff from across our organization continue to work together to strengthen the continuum of care and to deliver and maintain optimal hospice services for those in our community.”

The Joint Commission’s hospice standards are developed in consultation with health care experts, home care providers and researchers, as well as industry experts, purchasers and consumers. The standards are informed by scientific literature and expert consensus to help organizations measure, assess and improve performance.
