The designation lasts for three years. Only two hospitals in Indiana have achieved this designation, the other one in Evansville. What it means to patients is the assurance they are receiving the highest quality, safety and care for imaging services, according to a news release from Goshen Hospital.
“Receiving this prestigious designation is a reflection of the passion, dedication and vision of our imaging team to provide our community with innovative and outstanding care,” said Randy Christophel, Goshen Health president and chief executive officer. “In addition to meeting the rigorous standards to earn the designation, our colleagues impressed the survey team by sharing how we use our Uncommon Leader culture to create an environment of continuous improvement – and they want to share what we do with other hospital imaging teams.”
The DICOE program, which represents the pinnacle of medical imaging care, is an achievement that goes beyond accreditation to recognize best-quality imaging practices and diagnostic care, the release states. To receive this distinction, a survey team conducted a comprehensive assessment at Goshen Hospital to evaluate quality, safety, procedures, personnel and patient care.
“We’re driven to provide the best imaging experience for our patients. Simply put, that’s why we do what we do. We’re honored and privileged to work for a healthcare organization that is dedicated to continuous improvement, encourages innovation and invests in our efforts to refine what it means to provide patient-centered care,” said Michelle Sinkovics, MHA, Goshen Hospital director of imaging services.
