Hospice & Palliative Care of Greater Wayne County receives Accreditation

 

 

 

 

On February 3, 2011, Hospice & Palliative Care of Greater Wayne County was approved for accreditation for Hospice Clinical & Support Services by Accreditation Commission for Health Care, Inc. (ACHC). Our accreditation is effective from February 2, 2011 through February 1, 2014.
 

So what does this mean to you?

Our Executive Director; Colleen A. Nettleton, RN, CHPCA, feels that receiving an accreditation is similar to a "Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval".  Accreditation is a means of measuring the organizational management, internal processes, patient safety practices, and service outcomes. Most home care companies are good and deserve your trust. However, organizations that have earned accreditation usually are most serious about maintaining the quality of services and products they provide.

 

Accreditation is a professional peer review administered by a private nonprofit organization, which is structured to establish higher standards than state or federal requirements. Accreditation is the most commonly accepted means of assuring quality care and products.
