The purpose of this blog is to guide healthcare professionals to making educated decisions about OPPE and the Joint Commission. As standardization in healthcare acts to streamline processes and help the current health system thrive in a world of rising healthcare costs, accreditaton becomes more and more critical, not only for hospitals, but also for patients.
Patient care and quality are central to the healthcare world and its aims. Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluations are instrumental in perpetuating quality of care. The OPPE methodology helps by giving an ongoing review to credentials and privileges so that when re-acreditation happens, problem areas aren't surprises and most have already been addressed.
