QUALITY AND PATIENT SAFETY

TJC

North Hawaii Community Hospital has consistently earned accreditation status with The Joint Commission (TJC), which conducts surveys every three years. Achieving accreditation means that an organization complies with TJC standards and continuously makes efforts to improve the care and services it provides.

NQF And Leapfrog's Safe Practices

Modern healthcare contains highly complex and high-risk processes. North Hawaii Community Hospital has completed the Leapfrog Group survey of 30 patient safety practices endorsed by the National Quality Forum (NQF). These practices are capable of reducing preventable medical mistakes. North Hawaii Community Hospital already performs most of these practices and is actively implementing additional safety practices based on the recommendation of the NQF.
