Medical Arts Pharmacy awarded Home Care Accreditation from The Joint Commission

Medical Arts Pharmacy has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for Home Care 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.

Medical Arts Pharmacy underwent a rigorous, unannounced onsite review on 04/29/2022. During the visit, a team of Joint Commission reviewers evaluated compliance with Home Care standards spanning several areas including: emergency management, environment of care, infection prevention and control, leadership, and medication management.

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, RN, MS, chief operating officer, Accreditation and Certification Operations, and chief nursing executive, The Joint Commission. “We commend Medical Arts Pharmacy for its continuous quality improvement efforts in patient safety and quality of care.”
