The Joint Commission
This is actually one of the funniest parts of the season, and I feel like those not in medicine may have missed it.
The Joint Commission (on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO)) is essentially the boogie man of the hospital. JCAHO comes to evaluate the hospital to see if everything is running up to code.
Multiple emails go out to warn us when the Joint Commission is coming. We're reminded what to do properly so they don't see any violations. Signs are even put up. And they can cause very serious problems for the hospital if they find any violations. And they can do surprise visits.
Basically, the head of the Joint Commission is the nemesis of the person running the hospital.
Chef's kiss.
