Earning accreditation by the Joint Commission is a marker of a surgery center's commitment to patient care, and news of a center earning accreditation should be made public.
The Joint Commission offers a Publicity Toolkit that includes guidelines and tips for communicating the successful completion of an accreditation survey. Here are five important tips from the toolkit:
1. Emphasize your organization's public commitment to continuous improvement and delivering safe, high quality care.
2. Focus on the fact that your organization has undergone an unannounced, thorough on-site review of the quality and safety of care being provided.
3. Share information specific to your organization about what accreditation means by detailing your organization's full compliance with particular areas of the accreditation process.
4. Stress how ongoing compliance with Joint Commission standards results in sound management practices in the day-to-day delivery of safe, high quality care and give examples.
5. Emphasize your organization's compliance with the National Patient Safety Goals.
