Description
Learning Objectives:
1. Describe how knowledge of specific Joint Commission standards can enhance the LNC's ability to review a case and assist the attorney.
2. Describe future changes that the Joint Commission is planning to enhance the patient safety and the accreditation process.
The LNC works with medical records and healthcare facilities in reviewing cases for the attorney. It is important for the LNC to understand how the Joint Commission is changing and what this means for the healthcare facilities that it accredits. This workshop will enable the LNC to better understand the current processes utilized by the healthcare facilities to meet these standards. The speaker will help the LNC to identify the processes within the healthcare facility that may be useful to the case being reviewed. The LNC then will be ready for the planned changes that the Joint Commission is currently developing.
