Stamp of Approval
The Joint Commission, formerly referred to as JCAHO, is an independent, non-profit organization given the task of accrediting and certifying more than 19,000 health care organizations and programs across the United States. Their stamp of approval is a symbol of quality and performance. They seek to increase standards for safety, effective care, quality and value. JTECH’s healthcare solutions augment the tools and resources found in a medical setting. The MediPass™ rechargeable pager enables greater efficiency in hospitals and physician offices. Patients and their families can be discreetly and silently notified of test results, completed pharmacy orders, and when examining rooms are available. In addition, the silent notification setting results in a less distracting and less stressful environment for all other waiting patients. The medical staff also appreciates being able to quickly and efficiently locate patients and families.
The Joint Commission has been accrediting hospitals for over 60 years, a time period in which much has changed in medical procedures and facility equipment. Medical facilities are also bound by HIPAA regulations, for which JTECH’s paging solutions are helpful in ensuring compliance. With the intent of improving services, integration of a JTECH wireless paging system creates a peaceful, therapeutic environment to encourage patient healing. Benefits of being accredited by the Joint Commission also include increased community confidence in the quality of care being provided. MediPass pagers assist in improving community confidence by exuding competence and a continued investment in technology and patient services. Staff retention, development, and recruitment are also enhanced by having efficient patient pagers in use.
