On July 30, 2007, Medstar Medical was accredited by The Joint Commission for all services contained in the the Comprehensive Accreditation Manual for Home Care. According to The Joint Commission, its accreditation process " ... is designed to help your organization continuously provide safe, high-quality care, treatment and services by identifying opportunities for improvement in your processes and helping you follow through on and implement these improvements" (Personal Communication, July 30, 2007). The conditional accreditation survey activity completed by The Joint Commission on July 26, 2007, found that no follow-up activity was required of Medstar Medical.
Accreditation by The Joint Commission is both a recognition and a validation of the high patient care standards that we as an organization have set for ourselves and constantly strive to attain. The unyielding focus of Karen Grant, the company General Manager, on prepping the company for the intense survey effort was key to our success.
