Explain how health care organizations determine standards?

Explain how health care organizations determine standards? How do they evaluate how well they are meeting those standards? Government agencies do set and enforce many standards; however, these standards stipulate the minimum requirement for compliance. Most government oversight organizations are not interested in providing a “scorecard” or a ranking system for health care organizations. They are more interested in whether or not health care organizations are meeting the regulatory standards.
Most health care organizations, on the other hand, want to perform above the minimum standards. They want to pursue excellence. This type of approach to compliance helps ensure the organization is meeting regulatory requirements and helps the organization deliver high quality to its stakeholders.
To accomplish this, health care organizations often rely on standards set by accrediting organizations. Achieving accreditation from a third-party organization that sets high standards is often a vigorous and time-consuming process. It does, however, help the organization ensure it is meeting standards well above the regulatory minimums.
In most cases, accreditation is voluntary. However, some states require certain accreditation for licensure. Joint Commission accreditation is the most common and well-known voluntary accreditation in health care. The Joint Commission accredits a wide array of health care organizations. Many benefits to accreditation exist; however, helping to ensure compliance is the main one.
Now that your hospital has a robust compliance program and an all-staff compliance training program in place, senior leaders want to take the next step. They want the organization to perform an in-depth analysis of the benefits of voluntary accreditation. Senior leaders know the Joint Commission accreditation it currently possesses is good for the organization’s reputation and standing in the community. However, they also want to know what additional benefits might exist for the organization that it has not capitalized on yet. They hope to better justify the costs associated with voluntary accreditation.
Because of your involvement in developing and implementing the new compliance program, they have asked you to research and prepare a summary brief on how Joint Commission accreditation helps the organization comply with regulatory requirements, improve quality, and meet stakeholder needs. In your summary brief, they have also asked you to consider other accrediting organizations that could
