With your help, Healing Hands Hospital has a better understanding of payment systems reform and of the local competitors. They are now focusing internally on preparing for a visit from the Joint Commission. TJC accredits health care organizations to improve quality and safety of healthcare services. Their Comprehensive Accreditation Manual for Hospitals (CAMH) includes standards and regulations on patient focused functions such as infection prevention and control, medication management, provision of care, treatment, and services, and rights and responsibilities of the individual; and standards on organization functions such as management of the environment of care, emergency management, human resources, management of information, life safety, medical staff, nursing, performance improvement, record of care, treatment, and services, and leadership.
