Need I say more?

B: ZDoggMD famously said "The Joint Commission" sounds like a marijuana dispensary.

Hahahaha- My hospitals IT services blocked TJC website from me, reason listed as "drug paraphernalia". Hilarious, except I regularly use the website for my job, so that was fun.

You sound just as excited about them as I am about state surveyors showing up at my facility :)

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

They can change their name all they want, but they were JCAHO when I first became a nurse, and so they will always be JCAHO to me.

Hide your coffee!

I was on duty when JCAHO came through a mental health facility where I once worked. I had a patient who deliberately cut her arm that morning. I was dressing the wound when the inspectors arrived on my unit. They looked in the room and saw what I was doing, and they left without asking a question.

You poor kid!!!

They can change their name all they want, but they were JCAHO when I first became a nurse, and so they will always be JCAHO to me.

It's almost like they're trying to hide their identity!

Hide your coffee!

Put a lid on it and you're good. Just not in a patient room.

[klone, MSN, RN]

It's almost like they're trying to hide their identity!

They're REBRANDING.

Like how Kentucky Fried Chicken became known as KFC in the '80s.

[Eris Discordia BSN, RN]

Hide yo' drinks, hide yo' snacks!

[Jedrnurse, BSN, RN]

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

My heart aches when thinking of their hurt feelings...

[Jedrnurse, BSN, RN]

Just TJC now.

Rather pompous, isn't it? They don't even bother mentioning what their commission does. Sort of ominous, like that old movie "The Star Chamber"...
