After a study found no link between U.S. hospitals that get accredited by independent organizations — including the Joint Commission — and lower death rates, the Joint Commission responded that the study has methodological issues that bias it against accredited hospitals.
The study authors looked at 30-day mortality and readmission rates for selected medical and surgical conditions among Medicare inpatients using billing data.
They compared two significantly different groups of hospitals: state-surveyed hospitals — 93 percent with fewer than 100 beds — and Joint Commission-accredited hospitals that are often larger, as 66 percent have over 100 beds, the accrediting organization said.
Major teaching hospitals made up 216 of the Joint Commission-accredited hospitals in the study, but none in the state-surveyed group. Only four state-surveyed hospitals had 400 beds or more, compared to 403 Joint Commission-accredited hospitals.
“It is not possible to make valid comparisons when the two groups are so radically different,” the Joint Commission said.
To assess outcomes, the study looked at six common surgical procedures, but four of the six procedures are rarely performed in hospitals with fewer than 100 beds, according to the Joint Commission.
Additionally, in studies that look at mortality risks after hospitalization, measuring the severity of the illness that led to admission is the strongest predictor of a patient’s risk of death, but this research did not include these measures, the Joint Commission said.

You’ve probably heard a lot about the nursing shortage. But if you’re a recent graduate, you may be wondering, if there’s a shortage, why does it take so long for entry-level nurses to get hired?
Hiring managers told CareerBuilder that the gap reflects the difference between the skills entry-level nurses possess and the specialized training many employers need. The study also found applicants often lack proper training, strong communication skills and realistic salary requirements.
If you’re finding yourself frustrated in your job search, consider these four things recruiters are looking for in nursing job candidates.
One way to stand out from the crowd of new grads is to highlight on your resume any in-demand skills that you may have. Shawnee Major, an account executive at Fortus Healthcare Resources, says some of the special skills in high demand include:
If you held any internships while getting your nursing degree, mention those as well, says Sharon Roth Maguire MS, RN, GNP-BC, who is Chief Clinical Quality Officer at Brightstar Care. “Internships of significance — more than just a ‘clinical rotation’ — during their education experience can help demonstrate that they have had practical experience,” she says. “Working as a nursing/personal care assistant during summer or semester breaks is also helpful.”
