Joint Commission Unannounced Survey Case Studies
2007. 156 pages. ISBN: 978-1-59940-112-6
One year after its inception in 2006, The Joint Commission?s unannounced survey is now the standard in nearly every health care accreditation setting. A culture change, from "ramping up for the survey?" to "continuous compliance" has ensued, and from that has emerged a truer picture of organizational performance. Joint Commission Unannounced Survey Case Studies provides multiple perspectives on unannounced surveys and the accreditation process to date and into the foreseeable future. Health care organization personnel share their experiences with their unannounced surveys and their commitment to continuous compliance, and Joint Commission leadership discuss their perceptions of the survey process to date and their expectations of surveys and organizations for the future. Unique features: learn how to make continuous standards compliance a daily expectation in your organization from other organizations who have done so; dissect how other organizations that have been through an unannounced survey have met challenges and have used the process for overall performance improvement; understand the role of tracer methodology and the unannounced survey; and know what to expect the day of the survey.
