Several national organizations have recognized the quality of care
provided to patients by Novant Medical Group Forsyth Region practices and
physicians.

Joint Commission
Accreditation At least once every three years Novant Medical Group Forsyth Region practices undergo a rigorous approval process by the Joint Commission for Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO). JCAHO is an independent, not-for-profit organization
which sets the standards by which healthcare quality is measured in America and
around the world. Our practices are among the nearly 16,000 healthcare
organizations that JCAHO evaluated for the quality and safety of care.
To maintain and earn accreditation, some practices undergo an extensive on-site review by a team of JCAHO healthcare professionals. The purpose of the review is to evaluate the organization's performance in areas that affect your care. Accreditation may be awarded based on how well the organizations met JCAHO standards.
National Committee on
Quality Assurance (NCQA), The American Diabetes Association (ADA), The American
Heart Association (AHA), The American Stroke Association(ASA)
Some of the Novant Medical Group Forsyth Region
