New! By customer demand! The Joint Commission Guide to Risk Assessment
The Joint Commission Guide to Risk Assessment identifies areas across all health care settings that would benefit from a risk assessment — and then goes on to explain and demonstrate how to conduct those risk assessments. The book offers sample risk assessments, tools, mock tracers, checklists, and other strategies to help your organization to identify, assess, and mitigate its risks.
Specific topics covered include infection prevention and control, emergency management, Environment of Care®, leadership, and more.
