Joint Commission announces four survey focus areas

Representatives from The Joint Commission, URAC, DNV-GL, the Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program (HFAP), and National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) took the stage at the 2017 NAMSS Educational Conference & Exhibition to share what they have learned from this year's accreditation surveys and to tell audience members about relevant standards changes

Briefings on Accreditation and Quality

Being compliant isn't hard when you have a library card

Starting on January 1, 2018, healthcare organizations will need to create and maintain an accessible library of service manuals, instructions for use, technical bulletins, and other information manufacturers provide, and keep it as rigorously updated as other required documentation of tests, inspections, and maintenance.

What books should we write in 2018?

Hello!

It's book season at HCPro (also Halloween/Thanksgiving/sweater season) and we need your help!

This is the time when we come up with possible book ideas for 2018. But of course, we don't want to write about something readers aren't interested in, and want to hear your thoughts.

We need your feedback to get these books into production, so please share your thoughts by taking this short survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/66K3C7J

And if you have other book ideas, we're always open to suggestions!

Thanks

Brian Ward

Associate Editor, Briefings on Accreditation and Quality
