The Joint Commission Accreditation

By demonstrating compliance with The Joint Commission’s national standards for health care quality and safety, HealthSouth Lakeview Rehabilitation Hospital has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval™.

Founded in 1951, The Joint Commission is dedicated to continuously improving the safety and quality of the nation's health care through voluntary accreditation. An independent, not-for-profit organization, The Joint Commission is the nation's oldest and largest standards-setting and accrediting body in health care.

The Joint Commission evaluates and accredits nearly 15,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States, including more than 8,000 hospitals and home care organizations, and more than 6,800 other health care organizations that provide long term care, assisted living, behavioral health care, laboratory and ambulatory care services. The Joint Commission also accredits health plans, integrated delivery networks, and other managed care entities. In addition, The Joint Commission provides certification of disease-specific care programs, primary stroke centers, and health care staffing services.

HealthSouth Stroke Center of Excellence

In recently conducted independent studies**, HealthSouth Hospitals met or exceeded national averages for functional outcomes and were typically lower than other healthcare providers for length of stay and charges. HealthSouth also exceeded national averages for patient satisfaction. Our intensive rehabilitation programs get patients better faster, translating to higher overall outcomes and cost savings.

At HealthSouth Hospitals, we offer specialized rehabilitation care across a wide array of diagnoses. Our hospitals differ from traditional inpatient facilities, such as nursing homes, in that we track our outcomes, insist on a pristine environment and offer an intensive approach to rehabilitation, supervised by a physician. It’s this approach that allows us to achieve superior outcomes.
