Periodic Performance Review: Your Guide to Continuous Survey
Readiness, 2nd Edition Softcover + bonus CD-ROM
This compliance guide is designed to help you:
The JCAHO's periodic performance review (PPR)
requirement is now in full swing. Your organization must prove its
continuous survey readiness. Deciding to complete the full PPR or
choosing a PPR option is an important decision. Once you tell the
JCAHO which option your facility will use, there's no turning back -
you must fulfill your assessment using that option. Once you submit
your results to JCAHO, the information you provide will be used to
evaluate your organization during your next survey.
Armed with the resources, tools, and advice, you and your survey committee will be able to:
The CD-ROM that comes with this book also gives you the tools for a mock PPR. It provides 41 compliance assessment tools: one tool for each of the functional chapters of the Comprehensive Accreditation Manual for Hospitals, Ambulatory Care, Behavioral Health, and Laboratory and Point-of-Care testing. Plus, one tool for each setting that covers the National Patient Safety Goals. These compliance tools are found in the following categories:
To help create a culture of continuous compliance, you can also ask your managers to complete the assessment sheets - the forms you need are available on the CD-ROM, ready and waiting to be printed and distributed. Once the managers have completed the assessment sheets, you can collect their data, analyze the results, and upload the information to the JCAHO's PPR extranet site. By using this tool to perform regular self-assessments, you will be one step closer to continuous compliance. Over time, you and your staff will become as familiar with the standards, their interpretation, and elements of performance as your JCAHO surveyor is. That is the goal. Jodi L.
