2022 DNV Accreditation | Capital Health Hospitals
Capital Health Receives New Quality-Based Accreditation from DNV
Friday, January 28, 2022
Capital Health Regional Medical Center and Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell recently earned hospital reaccreditation by DNV, a certification body that helps health care organizations achieve excellence by improving quality and patient safety. By earning this accreditation, Capital Health demonstrates that it continues to meet or exceed patient safety standards set forth by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. DNV’s accreditation program is the only one to integrate the ISO 9001 Quality Management System with the Medicare Conditions of Participation.
“The DNV program is consistent with our long-term commitment to quality and patient safety,” said Al Maghazehe, president and CEO of Capital Health. “The ability to integrate ISO 9001 quality standards with our clinical and financial processes is a major step forward.”
ISO 9001, part of the non-governmental International Organization for Standardization, is the world’s most trusted quality management system used by performance-driven organizations around the world to advance their quality and sustainability objectives.
“We have taken an entirely different approach to accreditation, and hospitals are really responding,” said DNV Healthcare USA Inc. President Patrick Horine. “Since accreditation is a must-have credential for just about every hospital in this country, why not make it more valuable, and get more out of it? That’s where ISO 9001 comes into play and turns the typical get-your-ticket-punched accreditation exercise into a quality transformation.”
DNV’s accreditation program, called NIAHO® (National Integrated Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations), involves annual hospital surveys – instead of every three years – and encourages hospitals to openly share information across departments and to discover improvements in clinical workflows and safety protocols.
