The goal of the accreditation program is to help ambulatory organizations improve treatment for work-related injuries and illness, work-related preventive medicine and injury programs, illness-prevention services, and medical surveillance programs mandated by either the organization’s departments or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
The accreditation recognizes FOH’s efforts to design and deliver comprehensive occupational health solutions exclusively to roughly 1.8 million federal employees across nearly 400 federal agencies.
“Receiving accreditation through The Joint Commission is a great achievement for FOH,” said Michelle Smith-Jefferies, MD, acting director of FOH. “It recognizes our commitment to quality, safety and excellence in healthcare. That’s something that will provide a strong foundation for us to grow and provide excellent services to our customers.”
