Public information interview policy. Effective date: January 1, 1995. Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.
The revised public information interview policy takes effect for January 1995 surveys of psychiatric hospitals, other mental health care organizations, nursing homes, home care providers, ambulatory care organizations, and health care networks. Application of the expanded policy to acute care general hospitals has been deferred pending evaluation of the initial experience with the policy in psychiatric hospitals. The public information interview procedure in general hospitals will continue to be governed by the policy published on page xxvii in the "General Administrative Policies and Procedures" section of the 1995 Accreditation Manual for Hospitals, until further notice. [This revised policy is printed on perforated pages for easy removal and insertion into the General Administrative Policies and Procedures section of your accreditation manual.]
