BRMC Recognized for Good Practice by Joint Commission Resources

Bergen Regional Medical Center, L.P. (BRMC) has been honored by the Joint Commission Resources (JCR), an international health care organization, for providing the highest quality of care for its patients and residents through good hospital practices.

The JCR is a medical information organization that examines and then publishes good hospital practices based on accreditation, standards development and compliance, and health care quality improvement. BRMC techniques will be featured in the JCR Good Practices Database to equip health care providers around the world with new, successful practice methods.

“BRMC takes pride in providing all patients and residents with medical care that is exemplary of JCR Good Practices’ standards. Our staff works diligently to establish treatment procedures that will ensure the overall well-being of all they care for,” said President and CEO, Joseph Gallagher.

Two practices at BRMC, "Therapeutic Recreation Leadership Competency" and "Assessment for Risk of Fecal Impaction” will be published in the database this year. This places BRMC at the forefront of medical care, making the center a role model for health care professionals around the world.
“The practices that our top-tier staff have worked hard to develop will now help health care organizations world-wide to improve the quality of patient care and achieve peak performance,” said Vice President and Administrator of Long Term Care Lowell Fein.

BRMC remains committed to developing practices that keep health care standards to the highest degree.
