A symbol of excellence in patient care, the designation reflects UC Davis Health’s expertise in diagnosing, treating, and managing heart attacks and its ability to meet rigorous performance standards.
The certification process included a comprehensive onsite review by Joint Commission surveyors, who evaluated the hospital's cardiac program across key areas: program leadership, delivering and facilitating patient care, performance improvement, participation requirements, and clinical outcomes.
Certification from The Joint Commission reflects an outstanding heart attack program that delivers impactful patient care and outcomes. The standards involved in the certification process provide a framework for standardization, reducing variation and risk, and developing a consistent approach to every patient.
