Product Description

Policies and Procedures for Hospitals is a collection of more than 100 policies and procedures (P&Ps) for hospitals and academic medical centers. The P&Ps are organized by subject matter, and each one can be downloaded and adapted to suit the needs of your organization. The P&Ps are correlated to the requirements for Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation for hospitals; however, they can also be adapted by non-accredited international hospitals and academic medical centers.

Key topics featured in the sample P&Ps are:

• Physical environment and facility management
• Emergency management
• Human resources
• Infection prevention and control
• Information management
• Leadership
• Life safety and fire safety
• Medication management
• Medical staff
• Nursing
• Provision of care, treatment, and services
• Performance improvement/quality improvement
• Record of care, treatment, and services
• Patient rights and responsibilities

Policies and Procedures for Hospitals also features a helpful introduction that explains the basics of P&Ps, how to develop and manage them, and how to write effective P&Ps. Sample forms, checklists, and other supplementary material are also included to assist with P&P implementation.
