Practical Strategies and Tools for Joint Commission Compliance Softbound Book, 177 pages +
bonus CD-ROM
Year in and year out, patient suicide
tops the Joint Commission’s list of sentinel events. If your
healthcare organization admits and treats patients with primary
psychiatric symptoms, the Joint Commission’s newest National Patient
Safety Goal (NPSG) requires you to screen patients for suicide risk.
Some staff at psychiatric units and behavioral health facilities are familiar with the process of suicide risk screening, but the Joint Commission’s new requirements may create confusion for medical staff, patient safety professionals, and nurse managers.
This is a resource to help you determine when, and how, to identify and screen patients for suicide risk, as well as educate staff and provide a safe care environment.
Suicide Risk Assessment: Practical Strategies and Tools for Joint Commission Compliance will help you develop or fine-tune your facility’s assessment and prevention policies with an eye toward effective patient care, greater staff awareness, and compliance with The Joint Commission’s patient safety goal, as well as relevant CAMH standards.
