Heidi Benson, MS RN CPHQ FNAHQ, NAHQ immediate past president, and Ken Rohde, senior consultant for patient safety and process improvement, The Greeley Company, will hold a live audio conference on Wednesday, January 28, 1–2:30 pm Eastern Time. Produced by HCPro, Inc., Joint Commission Leadership Standards: Key Implementation Strategies for 2009 will address key changes in leadership standards and will provide “actionable nuggets” for participants to take back to their facilities.
Meanwhile, the Joint Commission announced standards changes, effectively immediately, as a part of its ongoing deeming authority application to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Although the changes went into effect January 1, 2009, hospitals will not be scored on the new Leadership elements of performance (EPs) until July 2009. The audio conference will include information on these new EPs. Register today to gain expert advice, as well as valuable time-saving tips and tools, and learn about best practices that will help your organization confidently meet all the Leadership standards.
