Public Notice |
| |
The Joint Commission on Accreditation of
Healthcare Organizations will conduct an accreditation
survey of Upland Hills Health on Nov. 18 and 19, 2004.
The purpose of the survey will be to evaluate the organization's
compliance with nationally established Joint Commission
standards. The survey results will be used to determine
whether, and the conditions under which "Critical
Access Hospital" accreditation should be awarded
the organization. Joint Commission standards deal with
organizational quality of care issues and the safety
of the environment in which care is provided. Anyone
believing he or she has pertinent and valid information
about such matters may request a public information interview
with the Joint Commission's field representatives at
the time of the survey. Information presented at the
interview will be carefully evaluated for relevance to
the accreditation process. Requests for interviews must
be made in writing and should be sent to the Joint Commission
no later than five working days before the survey begins.
The request must also indicate the nature of the information
to be provided at the interview. Requests should be addressed
to: Division of Accreditation Operations, Account Representative,
Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations,
One Renaissance Boulevard, Oakbrook Terrace, IL 60181.
The Joint Commission will acknowledge requests in writing
or by telephone and will inform the organization of the
request for any interview. The organization will, in
turn, notify the interviewee of the date, time and place
of the meeting. This notice is posted in accordance with
the Joint Commission's requirements. |
