Malpractice News: Joint Commission Directive on Disruptive Workplace Behavior and Patient Care

Malpractice News: According to an article published on the news Web site msnbc.com In July 2008, the Joint Commission issued a report warning healthcare professionals of the evidence of disruptive behaviors in the hospital workplace may be tied to medical errors that can cause harm to patients.

Beginning in January 2009, the Commission will require hospitals to establish codes of conduct to define inappropriate behaviors and develop policies and procedures to address them. The Commission’s directive will offer hospitals a clear model for establishing guidelines and consequences to decrease disruptive behaviors.
