Imaging tracer teams, as well as hospital tracer teams, are utilized to prepare the staff on what to expect when JCAHO surveyors come through the departments during a survey. The tracer teams replicate the surveyors to determine compliance and ensure the staff is comfortable with the methodology and know how to respond to any questions. With JCAHO surveys now being unannounced, the imaging specific tracers keep staff, physicians, and administration all focused on meeting the standards while continuing excellent patient care. The facilities of the Seton Healthcare Network in Austin, TX implemented tracer methodology and were surveyed by JCAHO in the first half of 2006. This article describes this process at these facilities and details the resulting outcomes.
影像追踪团队以及医院追踪团队，被用于让工作人员做好准备，以应对联合委员会评审员在评审期间走访各科室时的情况。追踪团队模拟评审员的工作来确定合规情况，并确保工作人员熟悉评审方法且知道如何回答任何问题。由于联合委员会的评审现在是不预先通知的，影像专项追踪使工作人员、医生和管理人员都专注于达到标准，同时持续提供优质的患者护理。德克萨斯州奥斯汀市西顿医疗网络的设施采用了追踪方法，并在2006年上半年接受了联合委员会的评审。本文描述了这些设施的这一过程，并详细说明了最终结果。
