Program Description:
A very critical change has occurred in 2006 with unannounced Joint Commission visits becoming a standard survey method. What can you do to respond to this new technique? The obvious solution is to be in a state of continuous preparation and readiness. This program will start you on your way by giving you the information you need to accomplish that objective. Tracer methodology is an engaging way to work - an ongoing compliance plan that will provide a clear pathway to break down factional variance and improve institutional communication, patient care, and safety.

The tracer methodology helps multiple departments determine whether processes and procedures are working the way they were designed or described. If well designed and carried out according to the process, all departments facility-wide benefit from improvements in healthcare management and work flow because they're using the same process. Joint Commission Resources (JCR) and the American Healthcare Radiology Administrators (AHRA) have worked together to bring you this monumental introduction to what can only be termed a "game-changing" opportunity for you to accomplish two major objectives: design a better work environment and, while doing so, become well prepared for compliance with Joint Commission accreditation requirements on a continuous basis.
