How to find Mount Sinai Policies
The Joint Commission is an organization that measures hospital performance in a variety
of areas. Achieving accreditation through The Joint Commission means that the hospital
What is The Joint Commission?
has met or exceeded standards concerning levels of service, patient care, quality, and
safety.
Without accreditation, our hospital will lose its competitive edge, professional standing
and community image.
Why is it important to achieve accreditation? Also, loss of accreditation will affect whether third-party payers (insurance companies,
managed care companies, and especially Medicaid and Medicare) will do business with
us
Although it may seem as if the survey has nothing to do with you, this could not be
further from the truth. You-and every member of the hospital and medical staff - are
very much responsible for upholding our hospital's mission to provide excellent patient
care. The Joint Commission surveyors will speak with you about your contribution to the
hospital's overall goals and about your individual role, so you need to be able to
answer clearly and correctly.
What is your role in the survey?
In fact, the survey process - utilizing the Tracer Methodology- will guarantee that at
some point during the survey, you will interact with one of the surveyors.
You will be asked about your role in providing care or service. This is how the surveyors
will assess our compliance with the standards. Surveyors will not direct their questions
to managers; they want to talk with the staff who actually provide the care or service
that is being evaluated.
