Cypress Village has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for Nursing Care Center Accreditation by demonstrating continuous compliance with its performance standards. The Gold Seal is a symbol of quality that reflects a health care organization’s commitment to providing safe and quality patient care.
Cypress Village underwent a rigorous, unannounced onsite review in May 2022. During the visit, a team of Joint Commission reviewers evaluated compliance with Nursing Care Center standards spanning several areas including infection prevention and control, leadership, medication management and quality assurance.
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 health care organizations measure, assess and improve performance. The surveyors also conducted onsite observations and interviews.
“As a private accreditor, The Joint Commission surveys health care organizations to protect the public by identifying deficiencies in care and working with those organizations to correct them as quickly and sustainably as possible,” says Mark Pelletier, chief operating officer, Accreditation and Certification Operations, and chief nursing executive, The Joint Commission. “We commend Cypress Village for its continuous quality improvement efforts in patient safety and quality of care.”
“We are honored to have our rehab facility within the Joint Commission’s network,” said Stephanie Markoski, health care administrator at Cypress Village. “I am proud of my team and how they work diligently every day to uphold high quality standards.”
