And more importantly, they’ve all successfully passed muster with JCAHO surveyors. Every year, the Joint Commission for Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) requires you to evaluate your hospital’s Environment of Care (EC) compliance program and report your findings to hospital leaders and directors. This report not only helps your hospital set internal goals for compliance and track progress, but it’s an essential document to have on hand when JCAHO surveyors show up at your door. Since the JCAHO has moved to unannounced surveys, it’s more important than ever to continually update your report. You need an EC report that is comprehensive and accurate, yet readily accessible and easy-to-read. This annual requirement can be a time-intensive task. This resource is packed with forms and charts for all seven areas of EC management, plus five extra forms for ongoing EC efforts. Since the adoption of the JCAHO's Shared Visions - New Pathways requirements, this guide has helped hospitals create evaluations and reports that have served as key documents during more than 12 JCAHO surveys. All of the information is based on experiences with the tracer survey format and with the current unannounced survey process. Now in its second edition, Environment of Care Sample Annual Evaluation and Report to Leadership is fully updated to include new information on life safety surveyors and disaster planning. It also provides sample performance indicators for each of the compliance areas and explains, in easy-to-understand language, how to use these indicators to track progress. Related case study examples demonstrate how the charts have worked in real-life survey scenarios. Don't let another annual EC evaluation and report to leadership pass without benefiting from this practical workbook and CD-ROM resource. Steven A.
