Newport Healthcare proudly announces its recent achievement of earning the esteemed Gold Seal of Approval® from The Joint Commission for Behavioral Healthcare Accreditation. This recognition signifies the organization’s steadfast compliance with rigorous performance standards in healthcare, specifically highlighting its commitment to delivering safe and high-quality patient care.

To secure this notable accreditation, a staggering 86 Newport Healthcare locations underwent a series of thorough and unannounced evaluations over just one week. During these evaluations, teams comprised of expert reviewers from The Joint Commission scrutinized essential compliance aspects across various domains, including patient safety, leadership, staff qualifications, environmental integrity, and documentation accuracy. The reviewers engaged with both staff and patients, ensuring a comprehensive assessment of the services provided.

Founded in 1951, The Joint Commission boasts a rich history as the nation’s oldest and most respected accrediting body in healthcare. Their standards are developed in collaboration with health experts, measurement specialists, and patients, drawing from scientific literature and expert consensus. Their goal is to help healthcare organizations measure and enhance their performance.

Ken Grubbs, DNP, MBA, RN, Executive Vice President of Accreditation and Certification Operations at The Joint Commission, remarked on the significance of this achievement. “As a healthcare accreditor, The Joint Commission collaborates with various healthcare organizations to inspire safer and higher-quality care that is equitable and compassionate. By sharing innovative solutions and tools, The Joint Commission bolsters accountability while advocating for continuous improvement in healthcare quality. We commend Newport Healthcare for their commitment to enhancing safety, quality, equity, and compassion in patient care.”
