Revised criterion for including physician practices in surveys.

چکیده

The Accreditation Committee of the Joint Commission’s Board of Commissioners approved a revision to the “Inclusion of Physician Practices in Survey” policy in “The Accreditation Process (ACC)” chapter of the comprehensive accreditation manuals for hospitals and critical access hospitals.

The hospital or physician practice portrays to the public that the practice is part of the hospital.
