Our triennial Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) visit is complete and was a resounding success! We are fully accredited.
The review affirmed that University Hospital is an outstanding institution and that we deliver outstanding clinical care. We all should be proud. Thanks for all you do every day and the caring that you provide.
It was clear to the surveyors that we are committed to solving problems and promoting quality care. The collaboration, dedication, and professionalism of all our staff was evident.
As we continue to strive to improve at University Hospital, it is gratifying to have external reviewers validate that we are on the right track.
Thank you!
