Starke Hospital has been re-accredited for another three years. Hospital officials say a recent Joint Commission survey found Starke Hospital to be in compliance with various performance standards, earning the hospital another Gold Seal of Approval for Hospital Accreditation.
Starke Hospital Interim CEO Jeff Vice says the survey involves an unannounced inspection covering all areas of the hospital, including patient care, emergency management, leadership, facilities, and engineering.
There were a few things Starke Hospital is doing particularly well, according to surveyors. The medical/surgical unit’s “frequently asked questions” materials were commended, and the Joint Commission has asked to include them in its Leading Practice Library. Starke Hospital was also found to be transparent when it comes to hospital falls. The engineering/facilities department was also commended for its door inspection program.
