THE JOINT COMMISSION ACCREDITATION-THE GOLD SEAL OF APPROVAL

 Healthcare Quality Improvement Resources, Inc. has specialized in preparing healthcare facilities for accreditation surveys by JCAHO (recently renamed The Joint Commission-TJC) since 1980.  We have successful experience in the preparation of Teleradiology services for full accreditation without any recommendations.  This is important for teleradiology services, as such accreditation gives deemed status for Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement.  Just as important is positioning your organization for contract services with other JCAHO (TJC) accredited healthcare services. 

Listing of the policies and procedures for Teleradiology

We can provide your organization with all of the needed policies and procedures in the following areas to meet all applicable standards, related Elements of Performance, and regulations: 

·        Management of Environment of Care

·        Management of Human Resources

·        Infection Control

·        Leadership

·        Ethics, Rights and Responsibilities

·        Provision of Care, Treatment, and Services

·        Improving Organizational Performance

·        Management of Information

 In addition to the above, we can develop the following needed documents:

bullet Medical Staff Bylaws
bullet Corporate Bylaws
bullet Management of Information Plan
bullet Management of Environment of Care Plans (5)
bullet Corporate Compliance Plan
bullet Disaster Plan
bullet Performance Improvement Plan

Staff orientation and training re: all of the above can also be provided so that your staff are completely ready to field any questions asked by the surveyors.

There are very few Teleradiology services that have Joint Commission accreditation.  They enjoy a competitive edge in the teleradiology environment.

Please click on the policies button on this page to find a complete listing of all of the JCAHO (TJC) teleradiology policies, procedures, and plans that have been cross-referenced with the applicable Joint Commission standards.  This is what you will need for Joint Commission accreditation.

In summary, Joint Commission accreditation is the gold seal of approval.  It is something you can share with your referring healthcare organizations that assures them that you have a quality organization that addresses all of the applicable JCAHO (TJC) standards.  Joint Commission accreditation demonstrates that you are committed to the highest level of Teleradiology services.  Managed care contractors, referral sources, and regulatory agencies insist on Joint Commission accreditation.

Demonstrating compliance with national standards will help your organization obtain contracts from insurance companies, networks, buyers of care, and other industry purchasers.  Accreditation also helps your center stand apart from your competitors.
