ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½Accreditation Process Identifies Gaps in Quality, Drives Quality Improvement

In the latest episode of The Operative Word podcast, host Dr. Tom Varghese is joined by Drs. Brett Johnson and Clifford Ko, Senior Vice President, ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½Division of Research and Optimal Patient Care. They discuss in the Journal of the ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ (JACS), finding that ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½accreditation identifies significant gaps in hospital quality, with only 61% of hospitals passing on their initial attempt. However, most ultimately succeed after remediation. A free subscription to JACS is among many benefits of ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½membership.
