MANAGING ACCREDITATIONS
Course Description
Better navigate codes and standards to achieve compliance for your facility.
The myriad of codes and standards health care facility professionals must manage can cause confusion and frustration when seeking compliance with accrediting organizations, such as The Joint Commission. Recognizing these challenges, ASHE developed this two-day program that shows how standards can be used as a management tool to help you to achieve compliance for your facility without over complying.
Through this workshop, you will discover the impact that the physical environment has on patient outcomes, patient satisfaction, and in turn, reimbursement. You will also learn the importance of complying with the various codes and standards applicable to healthcare facility management. In addition, you will explore the driving factors affecting the operations and maintenance of health care facilities, including regulatory requirements, meeting clinical needs, and financial management of the health care physical environment. By focusing on the day-to-day issues that impact you as a health care facility professional, you will return to your hospital with the insights you need to understand your role within the facility management department and the hospital setting.
By taking a deep dive into the current Joint Commission Environment of Care, Life Safety®, and Emergency Management standards, you will learn the relationship of these various principles and their effect on the physical environment. As common findings of accrediting organizations are presented and discussed, you will develop the tools and strategies you need to demonstrate and maintain compliance for your facility.
