POLICY
REGARDING COMPLAINTS OR GRIEVANCES
It is
the philosophy of Citrus Valley Medical Center to respond promptly
to patient and family grievances/concerns. At no time will the
presentation of a complaint in itself compromise a patient's future
access to care. Complaints or concerns should be addressed to the
appropriate nursing or department director. If the concern cannot be
resolved by the director of the unit, the Risk Management Department
may be notified by calling 626.814.2407. If hospital management has
not resolved the concern, the Joint Commission's Office of Quality
Monitoring may be contacted at 1.800.994.6610 or complaint@jcaho.org.
Medicare beneficiaries with concerns about quality of care,
coverage, or premature discharge should contact Lumetra at One
Sansome Street, Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94104-4448,
1.415.677.2000. Patients or families may also contact the Department
of Health Services, 5555 Ferguson, 3rd floor, Commerce, CA 90032,
1.323.869.8207.
