Preparation for a Joint Commission Study Assignment

The Limerock Health System includes an acute care facility, a nursing home, an ambulatory clinic, and behavioral health facility. The senior leadership plans to set up committees to prepare for a re-accreditation visit by The Joint Commission. Each committee should represent all of the clinical areas as well as the central administration of the facility. Beyond these basic guidelines, the composition of the committee and the committee process for preparing the self-study and the organization for the site visit are completely up to the committee. You are named the committee chair for Behavioral Health

Review the discussion of work teams provided in Chapter 8 of the textbook. Then, address the following:

How would you structure the committee in terms of numbers, composition, skills and areas of expertise, personal characteristics, and committee resource requirements?

Once these committee criteria have been met, what processes would you institute to ensure that the committee is successful in preparing the self-study and the organization for the site visit?

Utilizing a minimum of three scholarly resources from the Ashford University Library,:

Identify and describe two measurements for the selected committee related to patient care or safety.

Explain why the measurement is important for patient care and/or safety.

Identify a national benchmark for each measurement.

Identify the data elements for the measurement.

Identify the source of the data elements for the measurement.

notes : One of the tutors answered the question for me and the turnitin was 45 and my lecturer rejected so if you could work around it possibly using part of my references
Your paper should be a minimum of two to three pages in length, excluding the title and reference pages, and formatted according to APA guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. The three scholarly sources are excluding the textbook and articles included in this course.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
