This webinar will help hospitals prepare for their unannounced Joint Commission surveys by being aware of the tracers used during the survey process.

  2. Discuss what is covered during the medication management tracer.
  3. List issues discussed during the individual patient tracers such as waived testing, organ donation, discharge planning, and patient flow.
