Critical Path Network: JCR issues call to action’ for good practices
Joint Commission Resources (JCR), a subsidiary of the Oakbrook Terrace, IL-based Joint Com-mission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, is issuing a call to action for hospitals to submit good practice examples related to patient safety, sentinel events, staffing, care of patients, and performance improvement.
The examples will be used to establish a good practices subscription database, scheduled to debut on line later this year. The database will be limited initially to hospitals, with a pilot project for ambulatory, long-term, and home care organizations set for 2003.
The database is intended to help health care organizations improve services by learning from the success of others.
Each example submitted for consideration must include information on:
- staff involvement;
- tools and resources utilized;
- how the example was implemented;
- how the success of the good practice was measured;
- lessons learned or recommendations from the organization.
Examples must be fully developed by organizations and must represent intellectually independent work.
A $500 fee will be paid to organizations submitting examples that are included in the database.
