Product Description:
Are you aware of the significant standards changes made by The Joint Commission and NCQA for 2007?
The prosperity of your facility is contingent on fulfilling The Joint Commission and National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) standards. Surpassing the expectations of The Joint Commission and NCQA gives practitioners and staff the confidence to rise to any occasion and, in turn, patients can be sure the care they receive is unsurpassed.
To avoid exposure to legal and medical risks, healthcare organizations must develop and maintain a credentialing process that far exceeds the accreditors’ standards. To help with this, we’re proud to bring you the fourth edition of our best-selling book, Verify and Comply.
