Ch 17 Healthcare Quality Audit Questions

 

During the last accreditation survey, the hospital had findings related to quality and timeliness of documentation. The facility is due for another survey very soon. To ensure that your organization is in compliance with the Joint Commission documentation standards, you need to conduct a quality audit. You have assigned one of your staff to collect data from patient records to accomplish this task. The staff member collected data for the month of December for quality and timeliness of documentation. The data collected is presented in Figure 17.6 on page 362. The attached file Support information for Chapter 17 Case Study includes the elements of performance standards for RC.02.01.03 that will assist you in completing this case study.
