The Center for Healthcare Accreditation (www. accreditationcenter. com), a membership organization of The Greeley Company (www. greeley. com), is a leading provider of hospital accreditation and regulatory compliance consulting, education, and training for Joint Commission and CMS requirements. Expert accreditation consultants offered their opinions and analyses of the 2009 National Patient Safety Goals (NPSGs) Medication Reconciliation to members on the recently redesigned Center for Healthcare Accreditation membership website.
"Many of our consulting clients have not quite figured out how to make medication reconciliation work. And now we're presented with a whole new list of documentation challenges for 2009, not least of which is figuring out exactly what the new requirements mean," said Bud Pate, REHS, Vice President of The Greeley Company. Pate went on to comment, "This is exactly the type of challenge that the Center is intended to help our member organizations with meeting."
Helping healthcare organizations to respond effectively to the myriad of accreditation standards and standard changes is a key part of the mission for this membership organization. Healthcare leaders work with Center advisors to not only maintain their accreditation standing, but to go beyond accreditor requirements and identify broader quality and process improvements for the organization.
"We believe the redesign of our Center for Healthcare Accreditation website will provide members with enhanced access to their advisors, and allow advisors to better assist organizations to navigate the complex landscape of standards, clarifications, and recommendations coming from accrediting organizations," said Steven Bryant, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of the Greeley Company.
