Public Notice

The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations may conduct an unannounced accreditation survey of Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center, which includes MedSource (home medical equipment).

The purpose of the survey will be to evaluate the organization’s compliance with nationally established Joint Commission standards.  The survey results will be used to determine whether, and the conditions under which, accreditation should be awarded the organization.

Joint Commission standards deal with organizational quality, safety-of-care issues, and the safety of the environment in which care is provided.  Anyone believing that he or she has pertinent and valid concerns about care or safety issues in the hospital may contact the hospital’s Patient Representatives or hospital management staff. If the concerns cannot be resolved through the hospital, an individual may contact the Joint Commission.  Written comments may be addressed to the address below or an individual may contact the Joint Commission by calling (800)994-6610 or faxing comments to (630)792-5636 or emailing them to complaint@jcaho.org.
