Accreditation Preparation

The OKCG partners with hospitals and other organizations seeking accreditation by The Joint Commission to assess the level of survey readiness. This is done by conducting intensive reviews of the key processes examined by The Joint Commission and conducting mock surveys using the survey process of the appropriate accreditation company or the Medicare assessment process. Each assessment includes a report of findings, a work plan to address deficiencies, and templates of documents, educational materials, and other resources required to address the deficiencies.

Periodic Performance Reviews and Statements of Conditions

The OKCG works with hospitals to complete the new PPR required by The Joint Commission. Each review includes discussions with key client staff to design plans of correction for any deficiencies identified. The OKCG will also act as the PPR project manager to assure timely completion and complete documentation of all plans of correction.

The OKCG also does site surveys and prepares the required documentation to meet the revised requirement for periodic assessment of the life safety condition of buildings that replaced the requirement for a Statement of Conditions® .

Program Design

The OKCG works with clients to develop management processes and the educational resources required to implement them.
