It's the only title to cover all the latest major accreditation standards, including the Joint Commission.

Inside you will find:

• • A new chapter on the National Integrated Accreditation for Healthcare Organizations (NIAHO) surveys of Det Norske      Veritas (DNV) Healthcare
• • Updated chapters on CMS medication-related Conditions of Participation and the Healthcare Facilities Accreditation      Program (HFAP) standards

The eighth edition includes the new Joint Commission numbering system and most current updates, revised examples of forms and documents, updated checklists, and an expanded, more complete index for easier search capabilities. What's more, the authors put this latest data into context with compliance strategies you can use in your everyday practice.
