Mary Williams, RN, Joint Commission (formerly JCAHO) regulatory coordinator at Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury, MD, orchestrated three mock surveys before the unannounced survey in December 2007.
The 375-bed hospital, located 29 miles from Ocean City, MD, created a J-code to notify medical staff, managers, and supervisors when the survey or mock survey was taking place.
