The certificate is just a piece of paper, but the effort required to achieve it fundamentally transforms the way we do business. ISO 9001 is ideally suited to the complex, people-intensive challenges of running a hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>\u201cGlens Falls Hospital has worked hard to achieve this certification, and they have done so with unwavering commitment from their top leadership to make their hospital the best it can be,\u201d says Patrick Horine, president of DNV Healthcare USA Inc. \u201cISO 9001 certification isn\u2019t just an award or trophy for something you\u2019ve done. It is public evidence that you are at the top of your game with an obvious plan in place to make excellence an everyday objective.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"s2\"><!--more--><\/span><\/span>DNV Healthcare USA said its certification is quickly gaining acceptance among U.S. healthcare providers as a foundation for quality service and patient safety programs.<\/p>\n<p>According to the company, ISO 9001 brings science to the art of caregiving. It helps to standardize processes around things that are proven to work, by the people doing the work, thus empowering frontline workers while creating an environment of predictability for the entire organization. The ultimate impact of ISO 9001 within hospitals is the reduction or elimination of variation, so that critical work processes are done consistently and the \u201cbest ideas\u201d aren\u2019t held by one person or one department but are ingrained in the organization itself.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses that implement ISO 9001 do so for both the internal and external benefits. Internally it helps staff create clear and consistent processes of patient care and ensure that progress is constantly being made toward specific quality objectives, the company said. Externally, it tells the public, as well as insurers and regulatory agencies, that the hospital is not only talking about quality, but is pursuing it with discipline and transparency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cISO 9001 is like sheet music for an orchestra. It gets everyone on the same page and helps us achieve our objectives,\u201d said Hillary Alycon, Glens Falls Hospital\u2019s director of quality management and infection prevention.<\/p>\n<p>Glens Falls Hospital, a member of the Albany Med Health System, maintains a service area that spans 6,000 square miles across five diverse counties.
