RE: JCAHO Accreditation Contract - INFORMATION ITEM
DATE: August 2005
On behalf of the ASHRM Board of Directors, I want to make you aware of a new JCAHO Accreditation Contract that is being presented to Hospitals for signature. One area of concern from a risk management perspective is the clause regarding facility indemnification. While ASHRM cannot advise as to whether the facility should have concerns regarding SECTION 11 - Indemnification, we want to bring this to your attention so that your facility can make arrangements to thoroughly review the Contract before signing it. An AHA Advisory regarding the Contract was sent to Hospital CEO's and to the State Hospital Associations on August 4th and is available at on our website.
For further information or questions, contact Pam Para at 312-422-3982 or at ppara@aha.org.
