We were pleased to represent Barrins & Associates at The Joint Commission’s first forum for consultants who work with healthcare organizations. The Consultants Forum was held on February 13th at TJC headquarters in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois.

The focus of the forum was to discuss issues of mutual interest to consultants, TJC and accredited organizations. Presentations were made by Dr. Mark Chassin, President and senior TJC staff including COO Mark Pelletier, RN, MS. There were also breakout sessions designed to elicit feedback from the consultants on the following topics:

  • Non-Value Activities of the Survey Process
  • Post- Survey Process: how it can be improved
  • Non-Value Added Standards
  • Changing the “C-Suite” Perceptions of TJC

The meeting was very informative and collegial. TJC representatives were extremely open to feedback on how the accreditation and survey process can be more value-added for its customers. I was pleased to represent Barrins & Associates at this event and look forward to continued collaboration with TJC on this topic.
