How does QIP (quality improvement process) work with the JCAHO monitoring and evaluation process?
In summary, the Joint Commission is in the process of adopting the concept of continuous quality improvement as the basis of operation, both internally and externally. This will translate into a mandatory shift by hospitals from using traditional Joint Commission guidelines to the incorporation of the QIP model of continuous quality improvement. Proof of this direction is found in the Joint Commission's Beta Testing program.
