Joint Commission Unannounced Survey Case Studies

The Joint Commission unannounced survey is not the standard in nearly every health care accreditation setting, changing the accreditation culture "ramping up" to "continuous compliance," producing a truer picture of everyday organizational performance. The book provides multiple perspectives on the present and future of unannounced surveys and the accreditation process: Health care organization personnel share their survey experiences and thoughts about committing continuous compliance and patient safety, and Joint Commission leadership discuss the ongoing evolution of accreditation and its applications to patient safety.
