“You know how someone’s appearance can change
the longer you know them? How a really attractive
person, if you don’t like them, can become more
and more ugly? Whereas someone you might not
have even noticed, that you wouldn’t look at more
than once, if you love them, can become the most
beautiful thing you’ve seen.”~ Ben Chaplin in The
Truth About Cats & Dogs (1996)
FMDH continued from front
zero harm. Their mission and vision are to continuously
improve health care for the public by evaluating healthcare
organizations and inspiring them to excel in providing
safe and effective care of the highest quality and value.
The certification, offered in collaboration with the
American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, focuses
on the pre-surgical orthopedic consultation to the
intraoperative, hospitalization or ambulatory surgical
center admission, rehabilitation activities, and follow-up
visit with the orthopedic surgeon.
Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital underwent
a rigorous, unannounced onsite review on June 5th
and 6th. During the visit, a Joint Commission reviewer
evaluated compliance with related certification standards
including use of clinical practice guidelines, standardized
processes, tracks of clinical outcomes and performance
measures to identify opportunities to improve care,
and to educate and prepare patients and caregivers for
discharge. Joint Commission standards are developed
in consultation with healthcare experts and providers,
measurement experts, and patients. The reviewer also
conducted onsite observations and interviews.
“Advanced Total Hip and Knee Replacement
Certification recognizes healthcare organizations
committed to fostering continuous improvement in
patient safety and quality of care,” says Deborah Ryan,
MS, RN, interim executive vice president, Accreditation
and Certification Operations, The Joint Commission.
“We commend Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital
for using certification to reduce variation in its clinical
processes and to strengthen its program structure and
management framework for orthopedic patients.”
