Whenever an accredited health care organization has an opportunity to comment on a standard or requirement, they should do so because their input can make a difference on what future changes are considered or ultimately made. So if you have any comments or input regarding surgical site infections, you’ll be interested to know that The Joint Commission wants to hear from you. In this situation, your input will be used to create a free how-to implementation guide for NPSG.07.05.01, which took effect in January. The Source is mainly about ‘how to’ comply with Joint Commission standards and requirements, so I’m very interested in what evidence-based practices and recommendations for preventing surgical site infections will be included in this guide. Your input could have a positive impact on another health care organization. I’m encouraging you to access a survey located on The Joint Commission’s Web site through Sunday, September 5.
