the jcaho provides education & guidance to improve hospital's performance
the jcaho has nat'l quality improvement goals for select patient populations, like those that had heart attacks, heart failure, pneumonia, & surgical infections
a hospitals performance with these populations is compared with already accredited hospitals of similar size
almost half the jcaho standards relate to patient safety
for the pharm], the standards have comparing patient profile with subsequent medical orders
