In a two-day survey, Joint Commission representatives assessed the hospital’s adherence to standards that address 19 areas, including life safety, environment of care, medication management and emergency management, according to a May 23 state Department of Behavioral Healthcare, Developmental Disabilities and Hospitals news release shared with Becker’s.
“The results of this survey by The Joint Commission point to the dedication of the hospital’s staff and their commitment to care for our patients,” Richard Charest, department director, said in the release. “Because of their efforts, we now have a fully accredited hospital.”
The hospital, which opened Oct. 25, is now accredited for three years.
At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
