Product Description:
AUDIO CONFERENCE ON CD OR AUDIO ON-DEMAND
Sponsored by: Briefings on The Joint Commission
presented on May 28, 2009
The new standards issued by the Joint Commission in March include changes to restraint and seclusion, preanesthesia assessment and post anesthesia evaluation requirements and several other key issues.
What does this mean for your facility? What changes in policies must you make to align your organization's practice with The Joint Commission's new requirements?
While these new standards will not be scored until July 1, 2009, your organization will want to understand the changes and learn how best to implement the new expectations for restraint, seclusion and pre-anesthesia assessment and post-anesthesia evaluation. Getting a jump on implementing the new requirements will help facilitate and sustain compliance. Listen to HCPro's 90-minute audio conference New Joint Commission Standards: Anesthesia, Restraints, and More. Expert healthcare accreditation consultants Bud Pate, REHS and Lisa Eddy, RN, CPHQ will discuss hospital compliance with updates to the Joint Commission standards, and provide insight about future Joint Commission changes.
This program will help hospital administrators:
- Determine compliance levels with the new standards
