Akron, Ohio-based Crystal Clinic Orthopaedic Center was recognized by the Joint Commission for disease-specific care.
The certification was recertified with no findings for improvement, according to a Feb. 17 news release.
"To be recertified with no findings is a phenomenal accomplishment especially considering the challenges we faced with the implementation of a new electronic medical record and the opening of our new state-of-the-art hospital dedicated exclusively to orthopedic and plastic/reconstructive surgery," Holli Cholley, RN, Crystal Clinic's chief nursing and operations officer, said in the release.
According to the release, Crystal Clinic is the only Ohio hospital to have Joint Commission certification in four major procedures: spinal fusion, total hip, total knee and total shoulder replacement.
