On accreditation of healthcare organizations. Determining eligibility for Accreditation of Home Pharmaceutical Services.

Many misperceptions exist in the health care community about the Joint Commission's accreditation of home pharmaceutical services, primarily related to when pharmacy services are considered home care and which patients or services are eligible for survey. This article concentrates on eligibility for survey and accreditation of just one of the six eligible home care services-home pharmaceutical services. The concept of home care and pharmaceutical services is difficult for most people to understand. Unlike other home care services, pharmacy services cannot be provided directly in the patient's home. Pharmacy laws prohibit pharmacists from compounding and dispensing directly in the patient's home. The pharmacists must do these activities in a licensed pharmacy. Also, most patients who receive medications from pharmacies take their own medications in their homes. So the differences between home care pharmacy and ambulatory or retail pharmacy are much less clear-cut than the delivery of more traditional home care services such as nursing or home health aide services.

Using accreditation of prior learning and accreditation of prior experiential learning for entry on to the BSc in Medical Illustration.

The Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL) and Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL) scheme described in this paper has been prepared following discussions between the Institute of Medical Illustrators (IMI) and Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU), departments of Learning and Educational Development and Biological Sciences. The scheme gives specific academic credit under the Scottish Credit Accumulation and Transfer (SCOTCAT) scheme for learning gained from experience, allowing access onto the Bachelor of Science Degree (BSc) in Medical Illustration to potential students who do not have the required Higher National Diploma (HND) or equivalent entry qualification. The need, rationale and structure of the scheme are described.

Comparison of accreditation criteria. CBHDP, NLN, and COA accreditation criteria.

When a program faces accreditation from two organizations, what happens? Double jeopardy? Unnecessary repetition? Frels and Horton look at a case in point--nurse anesthesia programs. In many cases these programs are accredited by both NLN and COA. The potential problems are accentuated in this case since not all nurse anesthetist programs are located in schools of nursing.

Home care accreditation with the community health accreditation program: part II: the process.

The CHAP accreditation process provides an external, objective marker for the clients served by an agency. This marker indicates that the agency has met national standards of organizational strength and quality. The process results in a detailed analysis of the organization's overall strengths and weaknesses and provides expert consultation regarding findings. This ongoing consultative relationship between CHAP staff members and/or site visitors and agency leadership provides a continued framework for organizational expansion and change to meet ever-changing health-care needs.

Direction through accreditation--CCHA (Canadian Council on Hospital Accreditation) recommendations to Ontario hospital pharmacies.

A questionnaire was circulated in December 1986 to 157 Ontario hospital pharmacy directors that asked about the recent recommendations made by CCHA surveyors. Sixty-four directors responded and assigned their received recommendations to four categories of pharmacy service. Similar recommendations were tabulated by category of service and by number of hospital beds (less than 200 and greater than 200 beds). The results show that drug distribution was the most emphasized area of service cited for improvement. Frequent recommendations concerned patient medication profiles, night supply services, hospital formulary, Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee policy review, adverse drug reaction programs, quality assurance, and regular medication room checks. Responses indicated that 27 of the 62 eligible hospital pharmacies (44%) that received recommendations have acquired administrative support to implement changes, and 33 of 62 (53%) have had specific action as a result of an accreditation survey.
