Regulatory Issues



One of the requirements of Joint Commission is to ensure that our patients and staff are educated about patient safety and patient rights and responsibilities.  To meet this requirement, CVMC and Hospice have implemented a new patient and staff education program called “Just Ask.” An important part of this program is the patient safety brochure entitled “Take Your Health into Your Own Hands”.  These brochures are now included in admitting packets and are available at nursing stations.  If you would like copies of this brochure please contact Lynn Michaud at extension 22962 or 813-2962.
