    Joint Commission/Medicare survey – Santa Ana, CA

    By: | Tags:

    A pleasure of a surveyor who was open to different ideas of how to approach standards so was not stuck on only their “way” of doing things. A fresh take. Surveyor had some great sayings, such as: “Can’t accept if you don’t inspect” – Surveyor was referring to nurses receiving medications from someone else. This reduces medication error in terms of wrong medication, wrong dose, expired medication, etc. I’ve seen…

    Ten hours later . . . What is a peer? TJC has no standard saying what a peer is, but their FAQ says: The definition of a peer is someone from the same discipline with essentially equal qualifications. So, an anesthesiologist who works ten years with an ophthalmologist and sees how he/she works every day cannot provide a peer reference. Yet, someone who is in the same specialty yet gets…
