• Access the internal site with your login name and password to complete your application.

Talk with your team to determine a realistic “ready month” for your survey anytime in the next 12 months (identify that month on the application while noting blackout dates).

• Resolve the issues.
• Report back to your Account Executive within the requested time period, usually about 45 - 60 days.

• Take advantage of many resources to maintain your compliance with Joint Commission requirements.
• Use the Focused Standards Assessment process to continuously improve your organization’s performance in the years between surveys.
• Keep us up-to-date on any major changes in your organization on your extranet site.
