ELIZABETHTOWN – Bladen County Hospital Laboratory recently passed a comprehensive inspection and was awarded accreditation by The Joint Commission on Healthcare Organizations.
The two-year accreditation was granted in March after a rigorous two-day, on-site inspection from a commission surveyor.
The Joint Commission evaluated the laboratory’s performance in complying with nearly 300 quality control standards, related to quality control, safety, infection control, leadership, management and ongoing performance improvement.
Bladen County Hospital Laboratory has 11 employees and performs chemistry, hematology, microbiology and blood bank testing for the hospital and clinical offices within the Bladen Health Care system.
The Joint Commission is the gold standard in healthcare accreditation. It accredits more than 18,000 healthcare organizations nationwide, including approximately 3,000 clinical laboratories.
