·¬ÇÑÉçÇøapp Accreditation Process Identifies Gaps in Quality, Drives Quality Improvement

In the latest episode of The Operative Word podcast, host Dr. Tom Varghese is joined by Drs. Brett Johnson and Clifford Ko, Senior Vice President, ·¬ÇÑÉçÇøapp Division of Research and Optimal Patient Care. They discuss in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons (J·¬ÇÑÉçÇøapp), finding that ·¬ÇÑÉçÇøapp accreditation identifies significant gaps in hospital quality, with only 61% of hospitals passing on their initial attempt. However, most ultimately succeed after remediation. A free subscription to J·¬ÇÑÉçÇøapp is among many benefits of ·¬ÇÑÉçÇøapp membership.
