Certification Announced
SALISBURY — Peninsula Regional Medical Center (PRMC), through the work of its Primary Stoke Center, Guerrieri Heart and Vascular Institute and Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Center teams, has been awarded mid-cycle Joint Commission Gold Seal Approval, Disease-Specific Certification in Total Hip & Knee Replacement Surgery and in the Treatment of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) or heart attack. PRMC also maintains its Joint Commission designation and certification as a Primary Stroke Center.
Disease-specific certification is awarded for two years by the Joint Commission. This mid-cycle review process is designed to ensure continuous standards compliance and operational improvement. In short, approval ensures that Peninsula Regional continues to provide safe, high-quality care, treatment and services. Mid-cycle review also allows PRMC to identify opportunities for improvement in those processes and to follow through on implementing them before the next full-cycle review in 2013.
The Stroke Team at Peninsula Regional treats, on average, nearly 40 patients each month who arrive at the Medical Center’s Emergency/Trauma Center with stroke symptoms, volumes that rival centers like Johns Hopkins in Baltimore and others in much larger, urban areas. The prevalence of stroke regionally is clearly linked to public risk factors including tobacco use, diabetes, high cholesterol, physical inactivity and excessive alcohol consumption where the Delmarva Peninsula witnesses an equal or higher percentage of each compared to Maryland’s population as a whole.
“In achieving Joint Commission certification again in both AMI and Hip & Knee Replacement Surgery, and in maintaining its Primary Stroke Center certification, PRMC continues to demonstrate its commitment to the highest level of care for its patients,” said Jean Range, MS, RN, CPHQ, Executive Director, Disease-Specific Certification, The Joint Commission. “Certification is voluntary, and I commend Peninsula Regional for successfully undertaking this challenge to evaluate its standards of care and for instilling confidence in the people of the Delmarva Peninsula.”
