1. Think about safety issues that medical entities could be facing. Come up with a method that JCAHO should review and discuss ideas that can make a patient experience safer.
2. Make sure to provide detailed information, but also answer these questions: What type of healthcare setting is this for? How would it help the issue you have mentioned?
3. This should be a minimum 3 paragraph submission.
If you are unable to come up with a safer patient experience, you can explain a prevalent issue that was addressed by JCAHO previously. Explain the process of how they found this to be an issue that needed to be addressed and how it was handled.
PART II: After posting your submission, read and respond to the postings of at least two classmates.
