Select a hospital in the Orlando Florida area. Look the facility up in the LeapFrog Group’s Database of Quality Indicators and report to your peers. Discuss your opinion of the facility BEFORE looking up the information and compare it to how you would feel about being a patient or a Nurse in that facility AFTER you explored the data from the web site. No more than two students in a discussion group may use this option as an initial posting.
When you utter the words, “Joint Commission” to certain facility administrators, it strikes fear in the hearts of even the most intrepid executive. Why is that? Explore the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) web site where the link, “About Us” will take you to a brief outline of the history of JCAHO. Provide a synopsis of their history to your peers. Comment on what you perceive their overall goal originally to be, and whether or not it differs today.
