Tri-City Re-Accredited by the Joint Commission

Accreditation Demonstrates Commitment to Patient Safety and Quality Care

OCEANSIDE – The Joint Commission, the national organization that establishes standards for healthcare quality and safety, has again awarded Tri-City Medical Center its Gold Seal of Approval and accreditation. Recognized for the maximum three-year accreditation period, Tri-City received top marks in areas including patient rights, medication management and infection control.

Tri-City Medical Center underwent an unannounced four-day on-site survey in October 2013. The Joint Commission assessed the hospital for compliance with standards addressing performance in key functional areas. The Joint Commission survey focuses on all programs including home care, behavioral health and emergency services.

“Our mission is to advance the health and wellness of those we serve. For more than 50 years, we’ve shown our commitment to fulfill that mission,” said Casey Fatch, interim CEO of Tri-City Medical Center. “The Joint Commission’s re-accreditation reflects our dedication to providing excellence in every aspect of our work.”

The Joint Commission has accredited hospitals for more than 60 years. Today, it recognizes approximately 4,067 general, children’s, long-term acute, psychiatric, rehabilitation and specialty hospitals.
