This program will cover The Joint Commission Sentinel Event (SE) policy and Patient Safety Systems chapter, which are designed to be used together to help hospitals ensure compliance and improve patient safety. The Patient Safety Systems chapter educates hospitals on structuring an integrated patient safety system by providing a framework for the accreditation standards and patient safety. It is vital for hospitals to incorporate the Patient Safety Systems chapter and the amended TJC SE alerts in their practice.
Our expert will also discuss the CMS Root Cause Analysis (RCA) tracer, which lists questions that a surveyor will ask during a validation or certification survey. Knowing TJC standards on creating a thorough and credible root cause analysis (systematic analysis) will help hospitals address a surveyor’s questions.
