Meeting Joint Commission Accreditation guidelines is easier with on-line document and policy management with the enterprise portal solution and document publishing system for healthcare – PortalCOMPLETE.

Hospitals and healthcare providers understand the many benefits of meeting Joint Commission (Joint Commission) Accreditation guidelines (www.jointcommission.org).

This Includes: improved care strengthened community confidence enhanced staff education and many others.

One of the key areas looked at during the Joint Commission Accreditation review process is access to various documents and policies by clinical and non-clinical staff, including access to prior versions of a document. In a typical paper-based environment such documents are kept in binders and distributed throughout the organization. In addition to extremely high printing and distribution cost, binders are often misplaced or outdated. This not only creates a red flag at the time of the Joint Commission survey process, but more importantly it can lead to patient endangerment. Lastly, if prior versions and revisions of the paper documents are not stored and labeled properly - which by itself is a very tedious job – the related Joint Commission guidelines will not be met by the organization.

These specific aspects of Joint Commission accreditation can be greatly simplified with the use of PortalCOMPLETE. PortalCOMPLETE is a web-based portal solution used by many leading healthcare organizations and hospitals to simplify and improve the process of publishing and accessing both clinical and administrative documents and policies.
