Columbus Regional Healthcare System is continually recognized locally and nationally for our commitment to delivering efficient, quality care. We are proud of our team and the recognition that we receive from many of the top accrediting and ranking organizations in the industry.
By earning accreditation, Columbus Regional has demonstrated it meets or exceeds patient safety standards set forth by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. DNV GL’s accreditation program integrates the ISO 9001 Quality Management System with the Medicare Conditions of Participation.
DNV GL’s accreditation program, called NIAHO® (Integrated Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations), involves annual hospital surveys – instead of every three years – and encourages hospitals to openly share information across departments and to discover improvements in clinical workflows and safety protocols
CRHS has received the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Get With The Guidelines®-Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award. The award recognizes the hospital’s commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines based on the latest scientific evidence.
CRHS has earned the designation of Baby Friendly, an initiative created by the World Health Organization and UNICEF to promote breastfeeding and mother-baby bonding. You won’t find our level of care for infant feeding at many other health care facilities — we’re among a few hospitals nationwide with Baby-Friendly recognition.
