CRMC IS ACCREDITED BY DNV
Coffeyville Regional Medical Center is proudly accredited by DNV. By earning accreditation, CRMC has demonstrated that it meets or exceeds patient safety standards (Conditions of Participation) set forth by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. DNV’s accreditation program is the only one to integrate the ISO 9001 Quality Management System with the Medicare Conditions of Participation.
Our most recent full, on-site survey was held in November 2023
“The DNV program is consistent with our long-term commitment to quality and patient safety,” says Brian Lawrence, President, and CEO of Coffeyville Regional Medical Center. “The ability to integrate ISO 9001 quality standards with our clinical and financial processes is a major step forward.” CRMC has three years from the date of its accreditation to achieve compliance with ISO 9001, the world’s most trusted quality management system used by performance-driven organizations around the world to advance their quality and sustainability objectives. “We have taken an entirely different approach to accreditation, and hospitals are responding,” says DNV Healthcare USA Inc. President Kelly Proctor. “Since accreditation is a must-have credential for just about every hospital in this country, why not make it more valuable, and get more out of it? That’s where ISO 9001 comes into play and turns the typical get-your-ticket-punched accreditation exercise into a quality transformation.
