NEW YORK, Jan. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Pursuing its mission of advancing outpatient surgery, Somnia Inc. has guided Laser & Varicose Vein Treatment Center through the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) national quality approval process. Passing JCAHO's rigorous survey is a mark of distinction for office-based facilities, demonstrating they have met the latest health care and safety standards. Laser & Varicose Vein Treatment Center volunteered to submit itself to the stringent survey process and is the only vein center in New York to pass JCAHO's survey.
Somnia's accreditation experts worked on location with treatment center staff to ensure their operating policies were consistent with the latest patient safety, risk management and performance standards. Somnia also provided in-depth instruction on issues such as medication management, fire safety and OSHA compliance to create an optimal surgical environment.
"As more and more surgeries are performed in office settings, it becomes even more important to implement standards and policies that ensure patient safety," said Syed Ishaq, Somnia's National Director of Accreditation and Consulting Services. "JCAHO's gold seal is awarded only to those providing the most exceptional quality of care."
"I feel all office-based surgical facilities should be required to meet the same high standards we have," said Dr. Inam-Ul-Haq, President and CEO of Laser & Varicose Vein Treatment Center. "Working with Somnia and JCAHO helps us offer the highest possible level of patient care." For more information, visit http://www.somniainc.com/.
