Mock Tracer Workbook
Tracer methodology is the most prevalent part of The Joint Commission and Joint Commission International on-site accreditation survey process. Health care organizations also can use tracers to examine their own systems and processes, identify unwanted trends, and implement changes as part of an ongoing improvement process before a survey occurs. But the best way to learn about tracers is through practice.
The Mock Tracer Workbook provides practical exercises to help domestic and international health care professionals practice skills needed to conduct an effective tracer in any health care setting. You'll receive:
• Tracer exercises of individual, system-based, and program-specific tracers in all health care settings
• Sample tracer questions
• Tips for conducting effective tracers

► New from JCI:
Managing Patient Flow in Hospitals: Strategies and Solutions, Second Edition
Edited by Eugene Litvak, Ph.D., a world-renowned leader in hospital operations redesign. Foreword by noted expert Susan Dentzer.
Efficient management of patient flow has become an urgent issue for most hospitals. Emergency department crowding, nurse staffing shortages, and patient outcomes, complication rates, and even mortality rates have all been linked to shortages of hospital beds and associated stresses on staff when patient volume peaks. To compound the problem of inefficiencies and variability in patient flow, health care systems now face strenuous economic challenges not previously experienced. Managing Patient Flow in Hospitals: Strategies and Solutions, Second Edition, provides hospitals with scientifically grounded methods to optimally manage patient flow and serves as an indispensable guide to effective operations management.
