Carlisle (Pa.) Regional Medical Center has passed an inspection by The Joint Commission after the non-profit organization found 23 deficiencies at the hospital last year, according to a Patriot-News report.
Last November, a review by The Joint Commission found several problems at Carlisle Regional, including a lack of compliance with anesthesia regulations, lack of planning around patient care, failure to conform to fire and smoke prevention requirements and failure to safely prepare medications.
After the commission's discovery of the hospital's shortcomings, Carlisle Regional's accreditation was put on hold until the hospital could address all the problems and pass a follow-up inspection. The inspection was conducted last Monday, and the hospital regained its full accreditation status the following day, according to the report.
Details about the hospital's actions steps were not made available.
