Abstract:

Whether an organization is seeking accreditation for the first time or renewing their accreditation for the tenth time, the key to sustaining a culture of safety is getting staff and physicians invested in accreditation. Without their support, providing high quality patient care would not be possible. Leaders at Crystal Run Healthcare, an accredited ambulatory care/office-based surgery, physician-owned multispecialty group practice in New York, share how they developed an “in-the-trenches” training program to achieve and sustain staff and physician buy-in for accreditation. This article includes information on how to access a copy of Crystal Run's infection control tracer audit form and tracer rounds questions list that are posted on The Source's Web site.
