Tracer Methodology: Tips and Strategies for Continuous Systems Improvement, 2nd Edition, is an update to a popular JCR bestseller that provides health care organizations with more practical examples and hands-on tools for understanding and conducting tracers in any health care setting.
This book contains updated information on the role of tracers in The Joint Commission's accreditation process and on-site survey. A comprehensive overview of tracer methodology offers new examples of individual and systems tracers that can occur in various health care settings. This edition also reviews program-specific tracers, which The Joint Commission implemented in 2007, and features examples from Joint Commission surveyors that can be used as a learning tool for new or veteran staff members. Organizations also will find concrete tips on how to more effectively conduct mock tracers, better identify and assess priority focus areas during mock tracers, and integrate tracers into their own improvement plans. New and updated case studies highlight how domestic and international health care organizations have conducted tracers and used data to make ongoing improvements. An accompanying CD-ROM contains slides, worksheets, and other tools that can be customized and used for tracers in any health care organization.
