JCAHO advisory group to engage physicians in quality

The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) has established an 18-member Physician Engagement Advisory Group. The group will advise the JCAHO in its efforts to expand physician participation in the accreditation process and to broaden physician engagement in quality of care and patient safety initiatives.

Members of the advisory group include physician quality directors and educators, chief medical officers, private practice physicians, and other physician leaders, representing a variety of medical specialties. The JCAHO's Board of Commissioners has identified enhancing physician engagement in accreditation and other quality improvement initiatives as one of its top strategic priorities.
