organization would
include when the
agency was founded,
what type of work the
agency does, what is
the mission of the
agency, what is the
vision of the agency,
how many employees
work for the agency,
who runs the agency,
where the main office
is located, who
governs the work of
the agency, and any
other pertinent
information about the
overall structure of
the agency. Please

effect on health care
will cover the work
that the agency
performs, and how it
helps the patients
from a safety,
quality, and overall
care perspective. For
example, the Joint
Commission inspires
excellence in
healthcare through
their efforts to
improve safety,
quality, and patient
outcomes in
healthcare. Or, for
example, the
NCCHC works to
improve the care for
inmate through
promotion of safety,
governance and
administration work,
etc…. Outline how
the work that the
agency does works to
improve overall
healthcare where the
patients ultimately
benefit. Please
remember to cite
your source to give
adding additional
information.
Actually describe
an example of the
agency and how it
does its work. For
example, detail
how the Joint
Commission
surveys
organizations for
accreditation, or
detail the NCCHC
accreditation
process for opioid
programs. Detail
what types of
elements the
agency will review
when on-site
performing a
survey, or what
elements are
included in review
work they would
do for a healthcare
organization.
Overall, provide an
actual example of
how they do their
work. Please don’t
forget to include
your citation to
authority the agency has.
For example, describe the
authority level of the
Joint Commission. So, if
a healthcare organization
is not accredited by the
Joint Commission, what
happens to them? Will
they potentially be
penalized by
Medicare/Medicaid? If
the Joint Commission
authorizes approval for
certification/accreditation,
how does that impact the
healthcare organization?
Or, if you are focusing on
the NCCHC, you’ll want
to focus on how the
accreditation or work of
the NCCHC benefits the
organization. How would
they be less regulated,
organized, effective, or
safe without this
accreditation? Please be
sure to research your
answer and please cite
your source. (Taryn, n.d.)

This work is done
