  • Title: Joint Commission suspends 'auto' adverse decision.
    Journal: ED Manag; 2010 Aug; 22(8):suppl 3-4. PubMed ID: 20853588.
    Abstract:
    The Joint Commission's revision of its policy on root cause analysis puts greater attention of something that, quite frankly, some ED managers might not have been aware of. The ED manager plays an important role when events occur in the department, such as: knowing who the main Joint Commission contact is in the hospital, and making them aware of a potential adverse or sentinel event that has occurred; participating in the root cause analysis to identify what ED processes might need improvement; making sure the remedial activities recommended can be measured, so The Joint Commission can see an active attempt is being made to improve.
