CEOs: evolving JCAHO surveys merit high marks

Article Abstract:

Hospital CEOs view the performance of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) positively, overall. CEOs asserted that the review organization usually emphasized quality over paper compliance. However, one CEO suggested that JCAHO should allow hospitals more flexibility in determining how to meet quality requirements. Additionally, some CEOs complained that JCAHO surveyors tended to focus on their own special interests rather than on the hospital as a whole.
