This column addresses questions from readers about any issue, process, standard, or future direction of the Joint Commission, whether it relates to home care, the hospital, or other practice environment. The objective is to give you a better insight into the Joint Commission accreditation process in your own practice site. Any question is fair game.

Learning from the experiences of others is one of our most effective tools for improving patient safety. This column will describe how some health care organizations have effectively implemented the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations' (JCAHO's) National Patient Safety Goals (NPSGs). The articles will focus on practical strategies for meeting the NPSGs and on JCAHO surveys related to the NPSGs. Updates on new goals and recommendations established by JCAHO will also be provided.

The Star Schools distance learning program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education, is charged with serving “underserved” students. A recently concluded national evaluation of the program assessed the extent to which the program addressed the equity issue as defined in the legislation, that is, whether students in remote, rural areas and economically disadvantaged students were served by Star Schools. The study found that two distinct types of distance learning experiences are offered to students with equally distinct characteristics. A declining number of Star Schools courses are full courses, mainly in advanced mathematics and science or foreign languages, offered primarily to students in remote rural areas. At the same time, students in urban areas are receiving supplemental courses, mainly in elementary schools, in mathematics and science. These differences hinge on different definitions of “underserved.”
