Since 2020, Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Savannah has held The Joint Commission (TJC) Disease-Specific Care Certification in Stroke Rehabilitation. This accreditation ensures that the hospital meets rigorous health care standards, clinical practice guidelines and performance measurements. The certification also demonstrates a commitment to excellence in providing stroke rehabilitation.
Every two years, Encompass Health Savannah’s stroke program is evaluated by TJC for reaccreditation, which includes a survey process of current technologies and performance improvement projects.
“Holding this certification and recently receiving reaccreditation by The Joint Commission is important in improving the quality of stroke care we provide,” said Randal Hamilton, chief executive officer of Encompass Health Savannah. “It gives us a framework to enhance patient outcomes and safety, and it also helps us build trust with our community that we will provide high-quality, compassionate rehabilitation care following a stroke.”
Encompass Health Savannah also holds TJC Disease-Specific Care Certification in Hip Fracture Rehabilitation. This certification recently received reaccreditation by TJC, as well.
