Before the Plane Crash

Thanks to fast acting by the pilots, all 155 passengers survived, with few major injuries, in the disaster dubbed “the Miracle on the Hudson.” However, trouble emerged in the aftermath when people tried to find out which hospital their loved ones had been sent to. 

Briefings on Accreditation and Quality

Joint Commission talks medication management

There was a far-ranging medication management discussion held at The Joint Commission’s 2019 Executive Briefings this September. Led by Robert Campbell, PharmD, a pharmacist with The Joint Commission’s Standards Interpretation Group, the panel covered everything from medication compounding, opioids and painkillers, and syringe use. 

Revisions to hospital deeming EPs

The Joint Commission (TJC) is revising five elements of performance (EP) following a CMS review of TJC’s EP Review Project for its Leadership (LD) chapter. The revisions go into effect starting January 1, and deal with the deeming in hospitals and critical access hospitals to better align with CMS' Conditions of Participation (CoP).

When the Joint Commission hands out a Preliminary Denial of Accreditation (PDA) decision, you have a small window to set things right. If you can’t get your hospital to band together to fix the problem, a PDA can cost you your accreditation, reputation, and ability to treat patients. And that’s before CMS gets involved. Join former Joint Commission surveyor Kurt Patton, MS, RPh, this August as he reviews how you might get a PDA, what you can do about it, and what surveyors will expect during their follow-up.
