Newsletter Headlines In June, The Joint Commission (TJC) released Quick Safety Issue 42 on identifying human trafficking victims. The Health and Human Services Department estimates that 88% of trafficking victims visit a healthcare provider at least once during their captivity and aren’t recognized as victims.  The Joint Commission (TJC) announced in the June issue of its Perspectives newsletter that it will be increasing focus on hospitals’ efforts to create and improve a culture of safety with new expectations during survey, starting on the first day. Each month, Brad Keyes, CHSP, owner of Keyes Life Safety Compliance, answers your questions about life safety compliance. Our editorial advisory board also reviews the Q&A column.
