The document provides a checklist of important items needed when being admitted to the hospital. It lists verifying identification and insurance, bringing a list of current medications, allergies, medical conditions, past surgeries, and contact information for a care partner. It also notes that having this information prepared can help streamline the admission process and having a care partner present can help answer any medical questions.
CBAHI surveyors employ various evaluation techniques during accreditation surveys to determine if facilities meet standards related to governance, patient care, safety, and quality assurance. Surveyors review documents, interview leaders, staff, and patients, and tour facilities to assess compliance with standards regarding management, patient services, cleanliness, and equipment. The on-site surveys use interviews, observations, tours, and document reviews to evaluate facilities' structure, processes and outcomes.

The document describes the process used by CBAHI surveyors to evaluate healthcare facilities for accreditation. Surveyors use various methods such as document reviews, staff and patient interviews, and facility tours. They assess areas like governance, patient care, safety, and quality assurance. Surveyors rate facilities on standards related to these areas using a scale of 0 to 2. Facilities must score over 75% overall and fully meet core standards to receive accreditation. Immediate threats to safety can result in accreditation being denied even if other standards are met.
The document summarizes the presentation given by Ms. Eloisa E. Ramos on patient safety goals at Procare Riaya Hospital. It discusses the 6 International Patient Safety Goals including identifying patients correctly, improving communication, safety of high-alert medications, ensuring correct-site surgery, reducing healthcare-associated infections, and reducing falls. Key points from each goal are provided such as using two patient identifiers, implementing processes for verbal orders and reporting critical test results, and assessing and mitigating patient fall risks. The document aims to improve safety and quality of care through understanding and implementing the Joint Commission International's patient safety standards.
This document provides information on MERS-CoV, including:
1. MERS-CoV is caused by direct or indirect contact with infected dromedary camels or their products, and can spread through healthcare settings via breaches in infection control.
2. It defines 4 categories of MERS-CoV cases and provides criteria for each. Adults make up most cases (98%), which are more common in males. Co-morbid conditions are associated with higher risk of death.
3. It outlines infection control precautions including droplet and airborne precautions, appropriate patient placement, screening of healthcare workers depending on exposure risk, and specimen collection and testing.
