If you are thinking about having surgery at a bundled payments surgical center, it is important to ensure the organization is properly accredited. Documented accreditation demonstrates a commitment to high-quality care and adherence to safety standards. One prestigious accreditation is through the Joint Commission, a United States-based non-profit dedicated to patient safety and reducing harm in healthcare. Institutions that are Joint Commission accredited are evaluated on “rigorous performance standards in delivering safety and quality care.” Patient safety is influenced heavily by the facility procedures are performed in, and accreditation can be a helpful indicator of patient care.
Joint Commission accreditation is not easy to achieve and must be kept current. Site visits are unannounced and include a mixture of patient and physician interviews. Along with the standards that must be met during the initial visit, accredited institutions continue to provide data on how certain conditions are treated. The Joint Commission is dedicated to “leading the way to zero harm in health care” and contributes to that goal through examining data and establishing trends. Since patients do not often stay in ambulatory surgery centers for very long, it is imperative that facilities have clear standards and expectations for each procedure which are supported through the Joint Commission standards.
Nadora Healthcare is a bundled payments surgical center that is also a Joint Commission Accredited ambulatory surgery center. Patients can rest assured knowing they are receiving high-quality care from a team of experts and the facility meets rigorous standards. Those who qualify through a self-funded insurance plan may also be able to have surgery at no cost through the Nadora Debt-Free Healthcare surgical option.
