DaVita Kidney Care announced DaVita Hospital Services received its second reaccreditation for ambulatory health care from The Joint Commission.

“Our hospital partners ask us to bring our operations excellence and demonstrated quality of patient care to the inpatient care setting, and we’re thrilled to be recognized for delivering on that promise,” Tina Livaudais, vice president of clinical services for DaVita Hospital Services Group, said in a press release. “Our care team is one of the best in kidney care, and I’m pleased to have the chance today to acknowledge their enormous contributions to our reaccreditation.”

According to the release, the reaccreditation is effective 2018 and shows DaVita Hospital Services has met or exceeded performance standards set by The Joint Commission. DaVita was the first inpatient dialysis provider to be accredited by The Joint Commission in 2013. The Joint Commission collaborated to outline industry standards by which safety and quality of inpatient kidney disease and apheresis therapies would be measured in the future.
