/Health Wayne State University The Detroit Medical Center The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations will conduct an accreditation survey of Detroit Medical Center hospitals and hospital-based ambulatory facilities. The survey schedule is: • January 19-22 — Harper Hospital (Senior Support Services Survey will be January 11 and 12 by JCAHO Home Care) • January 25-27 — Hutzel Hospital • January 28-February 2 — Detroit Receiving Hospital and University Health Center • February 3-5 — Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan • February 16-19 — Children's Hospital • February 22-25 — Grace Hospital • March 1-4 — Sinai Hospital • March 8-10 — Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital The purpose of the survey is to evaluate the organization's compliance with nationally estab- lished Joint Commission standards. The survey results will be used to determine whether, and the conditions under which. accreditation should be awarded to these organizations. Joint Commission standards assess the organizational quality of care issues and the safety of the environment in which care is provided. Anyone believing that he or she has pertinent and valid information about such matters may request a public information interview with the Joint Commission's field representatives at the time of the survey. Information presented at the interview will be carefully evaluated for relevance to the accreditation process. Requests for a public information interview must be made in writing and should be sent to the Joint Commission no later than five working days before the survey begins. The request must also indicate the nature of the information to be provided at the interview. Such requests should be addressed to: Division of Accreditation Operations Accreditation Service Specialist Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations One Renaissance Boulevard Oakbrook Terrace, IL 60 1 8 1 The Joint Commission will acknowledge such requests in writing or by telephone and will inform the organization of the request for any interview. The organization will, in turn, notify the interviewee of the date, time and place of the meeting. This notice is published in accordance with the Joint Commission's requirements.
