JACHO is a JOKE

Nurses General Nursing

Published

If this organization truly cared about patient care, then they would be mandating SAFE nurse to patient ratios instead of harassing nursing staff about why there is a box of gloves propped on the handrail in the unit's hallway. JACHO is a bunch of bullies made up of people who have no clue about what comprises safe care.

Can you imagine how screwed almost every hospital in this great nation would be if JACHO mandated ratios that mirror those that are state law if California???

Sorry, just my thoughts....

JACHO has a problem w/ a number of things depending on who the examiner is, what way the wind is blowing, and what's for lunch in the cafeteria. You know..inconsistent in what they see and feels is a area for improvement. I agree. a big joke and an even bigger money pit.:madface:

Technically, you cant refer to them as JCAHO anymore. We all have to be politically correct and refer to them as The Joint Commission.

More hardship from an organization that does not care about patients AT ALL! Its all about the $$$

Also they have their jobs to protect and keep. So they have to find, dig for things and go on their witch hunts. While they see the nurse, staff overwhelmed, everyone knows about staffing issues. Somehow that is just overlooked. The most important aspect of safe patient care is just not an issue. There is something very wrong here.

So what you are saying is that JOKO has now added their own acronym to the list of naughty abbreviations. Finally a step in the right direction:chuckle
