OR YOU CAN JUST LET US DO IT!
- Read the standards manual from cover to cover:
This is absolutely necessary for an organization to understand what is expected from the Joint Commission. - Identify a project manager:
This person and likely 1 to 2 others will be among your best and brightest and will dedicate 75 to 100% of their time to this project. - Perform a gap analysis:
Identify your organizations strengths and weaknesses according the Joint Commission standards. Review each standard one by one. - Start your performance improvement process:
Gather as much existing data as possible then put tracking systems in place for each of your measures. Gather data for at least
4 months to ensure reliable tracking and accurate results. - Perform initial file review:
This will help you gauge roughly how much labor you have in store, this is the heart of the review, and the most time consuming. - Perform policy & procedure review:
If you don’t have policies start creating them according the Joint commission’s specifications. The Standards manual has identified each standard that requires a specific policy.
