Advocate Health, a 69-hospital system based in Charlotte, N.C., is seeking systemwide hospital accreditation with The Joint Commission.
The initiative will enable hospital-to-hospital benchmarking within the system and with other hospitals with similar geographic profiles, according to a May 27 news release from the commission.
“Through systemwide hospital accreditation, Advocate Health, one of the largest nonprofit integrated health systems in the United States, is setting a new industry standard in providing consistent, high-quality care across all its facilities — building on its longstanding legacy of excellence,” the release said.
