Accreditations & Awards

Over the years, Confluence Health has been recognized by numerous organizations for our commitment to quality, safety, innovations and excellence.

By earning CMS accreditation, Confluence Health has demonstrated that it meets or exceeds patient safety standards (Conditions of Participation) set forth by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. DNV GL’s accreditation program is the only one to integrate the ISO 9001 Quality Management System with the Medicare Conditions of Participation. The ability to integrate ISO 9001 quality standards with our clinical and financial processes is a major step forward. DNV GL’s accreditation program, called NIAHO® (Integrated Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations), involves annual hospital surveys—instead of every three years—and encourages hospitals to openly share information across departments and to discover improvements in clinical workflows and safety protocols.
