The Gold Seal is a symbol of quality that reflects a healthcare organization's commitment to providing safe and quality patient care.
Paramount Wellness Retreat underwent a rigorous, unannounced onsite review in the last week of February of this year. During the visit, a team of Joint Commission reviewers evaluated compliance with quality standards spanning several areas including emergency management, an environment of care, infection prevention and control, leadership, medication management, and the rights and responsibilities of the individual.
The Joint Commission's standards are developed in consultation with healthcare 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 settings to help improve patient safety and quality of care through our expert resources and tools, innovative solutions, and rigorous standards," says Deborah Ryan, MS, RN, interim executive vice president, Accreditation and Certification Operations, The Joint Commission. "We commend Paramount Wellness Retreat for its commitment to advance safety and quality for all patients."
