Master The JCAHO's New IM Standards
Accreditation Connection, February 2, 2004
In its revised information management (IM) standards for 2004, the JCAHO encourages facilities to use technology as much as possible.
To understand the changes in these standards, providers must first understand the format of the JCAHO's recently revised Comprehensive Accreditation Manual for Hospitals. The most important part of each chapter is the manual's "elements of performance" which break down the standards' requirements into smaller parts.
