Medical Center of
Lewisville’s (MCL) Rehabilitation Institute earned The Joint
Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for its Stroke Rehabilitation Program
by demonstrating compliance with The Joint Commission’s national
standards for health care quality and safety in disease-specific care.
This is the first certified stroke rehabilitation program in Denton
County. The certification award recognizes MCL’s dedication to
continuous compliance with The Joint Commission’s state-of-the- art
standards.
“With Joint
Commission certification in stroke rehabilitation, we are making a
significant investment in quality on a day-to-day basis. Joint
Commission accreditation provides us a framework to take our
organization to the next level and helps create a culture of
excellence,” said Doug Nickles, assistant vice president of
musculoskeletal and rehabilitation services. “Achieving joint
commission certification in stroke rehabilitation, for our organization,
is a major step toward maintaining excellence and continually improving
the care we provide to patients and their families.”
MCL underwent a rigorous on-site review earlier
this year. A joint commission expert evaluated the Rehabilitation
Institute for compliance with standards of care specific to the needs of
patients and families, including infection prevention and control,
leadership and medication management.
“In achieving Joint Commission certification, Medical Center of Lewisville’s Rehabilitation Institute has demonstrated its commitment to the highest level of care(fucking hey, stop with the care and tell us results) for its patients needing stroke rehabilitation,” said Michele Sacco, M.S., interim executive director, Certification Programs. “Certification is a voluntary process and I commend Medical Center of Lewisville for successfully undertaking this challenge to elevate its standard of care and instill confidence in the community it serves.”
The Joint Commission’s Disease-Specific Care Certification Program, launched in 2002, is designed to evaluate clinical programs across the continuum of care. Certification requirements address three core areas: compliance with consensus-based national standards; effective use of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines to manage and optimize care; and an organized approach to performance measurement and improvement activities.
