ROCKY MOUNTAIN URGENT CARE ANNOUCES JOINT COMMISSION ACCREDITATION
AURORA, CO, October 8 – By demonstrating compliance with the Joint Commission’s national standards for health care quality and safety, Rocky Mountain Urgent Care has achieved accreditation from the Joint Commission and has earned the Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval™, becoming the Denver metro area’s only free-standing urgent care company who has achieved this designation.
“All eight of our urgent care clinics give exceptional care to patients, and this accreditation recognizes the hard work and dedication our staff has demonstrated in providing quality healthcare to all of our patients. We sought accreditation for our organization from the Joint Commission because we want to demonstrate our commitment to our patients’ safety and quality care,” stated Mark Feddor, Clinical Administrator for Rocky Mountain Urgent Care.
“This accreditation represents a significant achievement for Rocky Mountain Urgent Care. We view obtaining Joint Commission accreditation as another step toward achieving excellence. This accreditation will insure that our patients will continue to receive top quality care at any of our Rocky Mountain Urgent Care facilities,” stated Nathaniel Moore, MD, owner and President of Rocky Mountain Urgent Care.
The Joint Commission has been acknowledged as the leader in developing the highest standards for quality and safety in the delivery of health care and evaluating organization performance based on these standards. Today, more than 16,000 health care providers use Joint Commission standards to guide how they administer care and continuously improve performance. The Joint Commission is also the only accrediting organization with the capability and experience to evaluate health care organizations across the continuum of care. The accreditation award recognizes Rocky Mountain Urgent Care’s dedication to complying with the Joint Commission’s state-of-the-art standards on a continuous basis.
On October 7, 2009, Rocky Mountain Urgent Care received the Ambulatory Care Accreditation. The Ambulatory Care Accreditation Program was established in 1975, and today more than 1,600 freestanding ambulatory care organizations are Joint Commission-accredited. These organizations represent a variety of settings, including ambulatory surgery centers, group medical practices, plastic/cosmetic surgery facilities and others. The Joint Commission conducted an unannounced, on-site evaluation of Rocky Mountain Urgent Care on July 31, 2009.
“Accreditation by The Joint Commission sets Rocky Mountain Urgent Care apart,” says Michael Kulczucki, MBA, executive director, Ambulatory Care Accreditation Program, The Joint Commission. “Organizations awarded this Gold Seal of Approval™ dedicate themselves to continuous operational improvement.”
The benefits of receiving care at a Joint Commission accredited or certified organization include increased confidence in the care provided because you know the organization is:
- Continually working to provide the highest quality services.
- Periodically evaluated by The Joint Commission for compliance with their standards and other requirements.
- Provided with expert advice and education from The Joint Commission about quality improvement.
- Able to attract qualified staff because they have more opportunities to develop their skills and knowledge.
