Bowen Health has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for Behavioral Health Care and Human Services Program Accreditation by demonstrating continuous compliance with its performance standards. The Gold Seal is a symbol of quality that reflects a healthcare organization’s commitment to providing safe, high-quality patient care.
Bowen Health underwent a rigorous, onsite review in March when Joint Commission reviewers evaluated compliance with program standards, including environment of care, patient education, medication management, infection prevention and control, leadership, patient rights and privacy, and emergency management.
“We take accreditation very seriously. It goes beyond just getting a stamp of approval from an agency like The Joint Commission; we endeavor to create a safe place to work and receive treatment,” said Dr. Rob Ryan, Bowen Health president and CEO. Beyond that, we are always looking to improve, and comparing ourselves against our peers and standards makes us stronger as an organization.”
“We were particularly proud to be held up as regional or even national leaders in some areas of safety and/or outcomes. We value our long-standing partnership with The Joint Commission and believe our outcomes and the communities we serve are better because of that relationship,” said Dr. Ryan.
The Joint Commission’s standards are developed in consultation with health care experts and providers, measurement experts, and patients. They are informed by scientific literature and expert consensus to help healthcare organizations measure, assess, and improve performance. The surveyors also conducted onsite observations and interviews.
“As a healthcare accreditor, The Joint Commission works with healthcare organizations across care settings to inspire safer and higher quality of care that is more equitable and compassionate,” says Ken Grubbs, DNP, MBA, RN, executive vice president of Accreditation and Certification Operations and chief nursing officer, The Joint Commission. “Through collaborating on innovative solutions, evidence-based resources, and tools, The Joint Commission helps drive improvement while maintaining accountability through our leading survey methods and standards. We commend Bowen Health for its commitment to advance safety, quality, equity, and compassion for all patients.”
