Compile an EC report that’s user-friendly and survey-ready!
Every year, the Joint Commission requires you to evaluate your hospital’s Environment of Care (EC) compliance program and report your findings to hospital leaders and directors. This report not only helps your hospital set internal goals for compliance and track progress, but it’s an essential document to have on hand when Joint Commission surveyors show up at your door.
Since the Joint Commission has moved to unannounced surveys, it’s more important than ever to continually update your report. You need an EC report that is comprehensive and accurate, yet readily accessible and easy-to-read. This annual requirement can be a time-intensive task, but we’ve got a resource that can help!
