Rice Hospice Accreditation

The Joint Commission Accreditation

Rice Hospice has been awarded accreditation by The Joint Commission, which evaluates and accredits nearly 15,000 healthcare organizations and programs in the United States. An independent, not-for-profit organization, The Joint Commission is the nation's predominant standards-setting and accrediting body in healthcare.

Since 1951, The Joint Commission has maintained state-of-the-art standards that focus on improving the quality and safety of care provided by healthcare organizations. The Joint Commission's comprehensive accreditation process evaluates an organization's compliance with these standards and other accreditation requirements.

Any person who has concerns about the safety or quality of care provided at Rice may contact Rice Administration at 320.231.4228. If your concerns are not resolved, you may report these concerns to The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (Joint Commission).

No disciplinary action will be taken against any employee for reporting a concern about safety or quality of care provided to The Joint Commission. Information about The Joint Commission is available via their website at www.jointcommision.org.
