Joint Commission Seeks Input on Protocol

The Joint Commission invites hospitals and other accredited organizations to complete an online survey on changes implemented in January to its universal protocol for preventing wrong site, procedure, or person surgery.

The Commission seeks feedback on whether organizations were able to implement the changes to the protocol and their effect on patient care and internal processes. The survey is open through Sept. 10 and takes an estimated 10 minutes to complete.
