Tracer Methodology, Global Edition

“How are we doing?” Tracers can tell you.

“Tracing” is a proven way to see how well a process or system is functioning, and where improvements are needed. The Joint Commission International and other healthcare organizations have made tracers an important part of their accreditation processes.

Make your tracers count.

Tracers can be unpredictable, and can challenge even the best hospitals. Here is a book to help you prepare your entire staff to face the unknown.

Tracer Methodology: Strategies to Prepare for JCI Accreditation, Global Edition, covers everything you need to know to conduct a successful tracer program. Authors Missi Halvorsen, RN, BSN, and Patricia Pejakovich, RN, BSN, MPA, CPHQ, show you:
