Question 8 • AA - S26 Introduction to Healthcare Science

What statement best represents a healthcare facility that is accredited?

Answer

St. Mary’s Hospital relies on a safety officer to monitor the building and make sure patients are not doing things that are dangerous.

Wybeck Medical Center has an official system for creating and maintaining medical records and advanced directives.

Evergreen Nursing Home has a quality management committee that meets every three years to see if improvements need to be made.

St. Jude’s Hospital uses safety standards and has a quality assurance team to make sure patients receive excellent services.

Explanation

Accreditation means a healthcare facility meets recognized standards for safety and quality of care. St. Jude’s Hospital uses safety standards and a quality assurance team to help ensure patients receive excellent services, so choice D best represents an accredited facility. A focuses narrowly on monitoring patient behavior, while meeting only every three years, as in C, would not suggest ongoing quality improvement.
