Technical Tips: Surviving a Joint Commission Visit in the Neurodiagnostic Department.

Technical Tips: Surviving a Joint Commission Visit in the Neurodiagnostic Department. Neurodiagn J. 2019;59(1):1-22 Authors: Johnson K Abstract An accreditation site visit from The Joint Commission (TJC) can strike fear in the heart of staff, but knowing what surveyors expect can go a long way toward reducing anxiety. Embedding TJC standards into our everyday routine increases the likelihood of a positive survey. Although TJC accredits many different types of organizations (and specialty services within organizations), the focus of this article will be on hospital-based, neurodiagnostic (ND) departments and includes information specific to infection prevention; medication management; provision of care, treatment, and services; rights and responsibilities of the individual; environment of care; fire safety; hazardous materials; human resources; performance improvement; and record of care, treatment, and services.
