In a recent blog post, The Joint Commission’s Ambulatory Care Program Manager Noelle Brown posed three key questions for ambulatory healthcare system leaders.

The questions aim to help leaders evaluate future certification. Here are the key questions:

• What information do you need to set strategic priorities? Would it be meaningful to better understand your risk points?
• Would it be valuable to have an external perspective of the safety of your organization’s delivery of care at your most remote location?
• Would it be useful to better understand which locations are struggling with implementing your new policies?

Those who are interested in these services can take advantage of The Joint Commission’s new Ambulatory Health Care system accreditation program. A system with four or more sites is eligible for the network accreditation and can help providers manage multiple sites.
