Who's JACHO? Be advised- they don't like it when you use their old name.

The Joint Commission.

However, everyone still calls it JACHO around here.

I've never had the pleasure of being around when they've come by.

I was on duty last time they were here. Guess who they followed and questioned?

When they went by their old name, it was actually spelled JCAHO.

Now it's just TJC. As in, "What would TJC do??"

I actually worked at one hospital that had a special code they'd announce on the intercom when Joint Commission arrived. It'd be announced and everyone in management would be scrambling around, it was kind of funny actually, like they were announcing the beginning of an invasion.
