Dr. Girard Mesny
Girard Mesny, prominent French doctor with experience fighting bubonic plague in India, arrived just after Dr. Wu.
Disputed Wu’s initial findings, with racial undertones.
Mesny believed that the illness was transmitted through flea bites.
Rejected Dr. Wu’s advice. Refused to wear a mask.
Mesny contracted the disease and died in January 1911.

Surgeon, 1869-1940
Proposed the “end result” theory for evaluating surgeon competence (1910):
"Every hospital should follow every patient it treats long enough to determine whether the treatment has been successful, and then to inquire ‘if not, why not’ with a view to preventing similar failures in the future.”
Dr. Ernest Amory Codman

The First Hospital Standards
1910 - Dr. Codman creates the “End Result System of Hospitalization Standardization”, a 3 Step Approach: 1. Determine if it is a patient,
hospital system or physician problem
2. Quantify the quality issue
3. Determine a means to prevent in the future

Donabedian's Structure, Process, Outcome Model Definitions
and examples adopted from (Kurowski and Shaughnessy 1982)
Structure The capacity of the
provider to respond to patient needs
Process Activities performed to
meet patient needs
Outcomes Observed consequences
of provider activities. Changes in the physical, functional, and psycho-
social status of the patient

The State of Quality and Patient Safety
Routine safety processes fail routinely – Hand hygiene
– Medication administration
– Patient identification
– Communication in transitions of care
Uncommon, preventable adverse events – Surgery on wrong patient or body part
– Fires in ORs, retained foreign objects
– Infant abductions, inpatient suicides

Patient Safety Data
Up to 98,000 patients die annually in hospitals due to medical errors (likely higher)
Adverse medication events cause more than 770,000 injuries and deaths each year at a cost as high as $5.6 billion annually
An estimated $19.5 billion dollars in health care costs are attributable to medical errors (2008 estimate)

Good News
Barcoding has been shown to reduce
medication administration errors (Poon et al. 2010)
Team training in surgery has been shown to reduce mortality by 50% compared with control sites (Neily et al. 2010).
A handoff communications process reduced medical errors by 23% and preventable adverse events by 30% (both P<0.001) (Starmer et al. 2014).

Patients Awareness in China
Study Jan. 2009-Dec. 2010; 1,000 surveys distributed, 96% response rate
58% not aware of what a medical error is
65% wanted full disclosure
187 experienced an error; 83% legal action
52% understood hospital infection but 28% not aware infection could occur in hospitals
Only 14% knew the side effects of their medications

What is Accreditation?
At its best, accreditation involves two closely integrated processes: – Evidence-based requirements that increase the
likelihood of improved health outcomes for patients
– Effective methods to evaluate how well individual organizations are complying with the requirements
The Joint Commission has conducted and improved these processes for 60+ years

What Accreditation is Not
Accreditation is not a guarantee that:
– No errors will occur
– Preventable adverse events will never harm patients
– High quality care will always be delivered to every patient
Accreditation is not a panacea that can solve all our quality problems

Core Strengths
1. Create “optimally achievable” safety and quality standards
2. Continuously update standards to reflect changing science and practice
3. Develop and deploy most effective methods for onsite evaluation
4. Apply highly effective process improvement to create, disseminate interventions to solve quality problems

JCI Standards
JCI standards are rooted in what we know about what characterizes organizations with excellent quality programs and results
Leadership is vital to all aspects of quality
Standards assign accountability for quality and safety to highest levels of leadership – Governing body, management, MDs, RNs
– Program, resources, improvement agenda
– Reporting, communication, safety culture

- What new practices in health care need to be addressed?
- What standards need clarification?
- Are there issues to be addressed for which there are no standards?
- Standards that could/should be eliminated
Field reviews conducted on proposed standards
