Forum Extended Care Services earns accreditation for quality operational practices

Forum Extended Care Services, the largest independent long-term care and hospice pharmacy in Illinois, has achieved the Award of Accreditation from the Healthcare Quality Association on Accreditation, based in Waterloo, Iowa. This award is achieved only after demonstrating a high level of quality practice in business operations and patient care techniques.

Forum earned the three-year accreditation after completing a comprehensive application that focuses on patient care, financial stability, and a commitment to quality operational practices and procedures. Accreditation by the Healthcare Quality Association on Accreditation assures Medicare and other payers that the highest levels of quality are practiced within all areas of the company.

"We sought accreditation by the Healthcare Quality Association on Accreditation to demonstrate that our company is committed to providing excellent patient care and safety in a financially solvent environment," says Brian Kramer, RPh, President of Forum. "This award also reinforces that our commitment to quality is ongoing."
