About Us

Our Higher Standards

JCAHO
King’s Daughters Hospital is a private, not-for-profit, community hospital that is fully accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO). Our accreditation means that we voluntarily ask to be evaluated by an outside, independent organization of health care professionals for compliance with national standards set by our peers. Accreditation means we are compliant in meeting the standards set before us. This is one way our patients are assured of a high level of quality medical care.

CAP
King’s Daughters Hospital Laboratory has been awarded an accreditation by the Commission on Laboratory Accreditation of the College of American Pathologists (CAP) based on the results of a recent on-site inspection. During the CAP accreditation process, inspectors examine the laboratory’s records and quality control of procedures for the preceding two years. CAP inspectors also examine the entire staff’s qualifications, the laboratory’s equipment, facilities, safety program and record, as well as the overall management of the laboratory. This stringent inspection program is designed to specifically ensure the highest standard of care for the laboratory’s patients.

The College of American Pathologists is a medical society serving nearly 16,000 physician members and the laboratory community throughout the world. It is the world’s largest association composed exclusively of pathologists and is widely considered the leader in laboratory quality assurance. The CAP is an advocate for high-quality and cost-effective medical care.
