BWH’s next site survey from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) is scheduled for February 9 through 13, 2004. To help prepare nurses for the impending survey, BWH Nurse will continue to publish regular articles on appropriate processes and standards that apply to Nursing.
All nurses, who have not yet been through a JCAHO Survey, should work with their nurse managers and clinical educators to ensure understanding and expectations of the process.
