1. Individual tracers review experiences for high-risk patients to analyze how the organization provides care.
2. Some tracers used by the Joint Commission are specific to a certain accreditation program and track clinical services and organization-relevant information.
3. System tracers are interactive and monitor a specific process within an organization. Data management, medication management and infection control are three areas evaluated by system tracers.
