Mock Joint Commission Surveys

TJC consultants conducting Mock SurveyAre you a behavioral healthcare organization anticipating a Joint Commission survey? Either an initial survey or a triennial survey? If so, our mock Joint Commission survey brings the best possible preparation to your doorstep.

We simulate the agenda for your TJC survey and prepare you for all the interviews, tracers, and other sessions you’ll experience during your assessment. Our team has put together a comprehensive Mock Survey designed to give you the desired outcome when it comes to reaching the goal of your organization.

Mock Surveys Customized to your Organization

Our mock surveys are customized to your organization’s size, scope, and client population. Your Joint Commission mock survey will have the same number of surveyors and number of days as your actual TJC survey. Our team of TJC mock survey consultants work with you to plan a detailed agenda and attendees for all the sessions. This is done before we’re onsite so we hit the ground running once we arrive at your organization.

Our clinical associates (nurses and social workers) cover all the clinical and programmatic components of your Joint Commission mock survey. Our engineer covers all the Life Safety, Environment of Care, and Emergency Management requirements. For psychiatric hospitals, this includes a full Life Safety Building tour.

Mock Survey Report

TJC mock survey action plan

Your team gets feedback from our Joint Commission mock survey specialists throughout the process about what we’re finding and how you can fix it. We do a daily briefing and an exit conference that summarizes our findings. You receive a written report within three business days. Our report includes a SAFER matrix (just like the TJC reports) so you can see where your high risk areas are and what to prioritize.

 

We also do a follow-up conference call to answer any questions you have. Many behavioral healthcare organizations also have us review their action plan during this call to make sure they’re on the right track with their corrective actions.
