Naval Hospital Bremerton to Undergo Accreditation Survey

Under the rainbow ... The Joint Commission (TJC) and Bureau of
Medicine and Surgery, Medical Inspector General (MEDIG) survey teams
will visit Naval Hospital Bremerton (NHB) and its branch medical clinics at
Naval Base Kitsap Bangor, Naval Station Everett and Puget Sound Naval
Shipyard to conduct their triennial survey on February 4-7, 2019. The
purpose of the survey by TJC and MEDIG is to evaluate the compliance of NHB
and its branch clinics with nationally established Joint Commission and Navy
medicine standards of care specific to the needs of patients, including
infection prevention and control, leadership, environment of care, emergency
management, patient safety, and medication management. The
inspection is conducted approximately every three years at U.S. Navy
military treatment facilities with the survey results used to determine
whether, and the conditions under which, reaccreditation should be awarded
