The New Joint Commission Conflict of Interest Standards
Comply at Every Level
Product Description:
AUDIO CONFERENCE ON CD OR AUDIO ON-DEMAND
Sponsored by: Briefings on The Joint Commission
presented on July 28, 2009
PROBLEM
Conflicts of interest have the potential to impact quality and patient safety adversely, often in ways not readily recognizable by board, hospital, and medical staff leaders. The new Joint Commission standards are very clear: it is the responsibility of hospital leaders to root out and manage conflicts of interest wherever they occur in your hospital.
SOLUTION
Determining what issues constitute conflicts of interest in your facility—from a board member's financial interests to a physician's participation in a peer review—and then resolving (not just managing) them, will keep you in compliance with Joint Commission regulations. Adjusting your thought paradigm can also help you identify conflicts you may not have been thinking of, and develop new strategies to deal with the more challenging conflicts you face.
