The Joint Commission has released its 2013 Survey Activity
Guide for Health Care Organizations.
You may find it here,
and it is also posted on NAHAM’s Joint Commission Toolkit, available to NAHAM
members online.
The Joint Commission’s 2013 Survey
Activity Guide (released December 18, 2012) has replaced the 2012 guide. The
guide provides detailed information to help an organization prepare for an
accreditation on-site survey. Included is a description of each activity that
takes place during an accreditation on-site survey including logistical needs,
session objectives, suggested participants and an overview of the session.
Also
available online to NAHAM members is an archived webinar that introduces the
toolkit and discusses Joint Commission surveys, the toolkit, Tracer
Methodology, and other special considerations for your next Joint Commission
Survey. The webinar is presented by Michael Sciarabba, CHAM, Director of
Patient Access Services, Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center and the chair
of the NAHAM Policy Development/Government Relations Committee and Brenda
Sauer, RN, MA CHAM, Director, New York Presbyterian Hospital and NAHAM’s
