Well, I've learned a lot throughout this course. Blogging has been interesting, I hope I can continue to use it as a learning tool. :o)
For this module I learned that there are many more accrediting agencies than I realized! I was aware of Joint Commission of course. Working in the hospital is the only experience I had with that agency. I did long term care for many years. None of the facilities I worked for had any accreditation. We had a yearly state surveys, that was all. I was surprised to learn that Joint Commission will accredit long term care. I was also surprised that there are so many other accrediting agencies available out patient services.
