Are You Ready For Inspection Every Day, Any time?
QHR, September 18, 2007
It makes sense, doesn't it? Hospitals should be ready for examination without notice. After all, every patient deserves our best. No one in your organization would disagree with that. But it's not just a matter of doing your best to deliver quality care. The snag is ever-changing regulations. Whether you're accredited by JCAHO or HFAP/AOA (Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program, a division of the American Osteopathic Association), or subject to a review against the CMS Conditions of Participation, you face a huge challenge in assuring your organization is always ready for an unannounced survey.
