Submit Your Questions to The Joint Commission

Contact:  Gavin Stern, gstern@aami.org, 1-703-647-2781

Do you have a question about a standard or practice from The Joint Commission? Now’s your chance to get your questions answered by Kenneth Monroe, director of engineering at TJC, and his team! AAMI is launching a new department in its journal, BI&T, called “Ask The Joint Commission.”

The format will be similar to BI&T’s long-running and popular “Ask George” department, which featured answers from Monroe’s predecessor at TJC, George Mills. Submissions will also be featured weekly on AAMI Connect.

“We at AAMI would like to thank Ken for making himself available to answer questions. At a time where healthcare technology is changing fast, it’s important for the HTM community to have access to accrediting agencies like The Joint Commission,” said Danielle McGeary, vice president of healthcare technology management at AAMI. “AAMI is pleased to help make that access possible by launching this new department in BI&T. Don’t be shy in submitting your questions!”

Monroe agreed to participate in an ongoing department following an informative and enjoyable presentation in tandem with Mills at the AAMI 2018 Conference & Expo. He has also agreed to speak at the AAMI Exchange, the name for the reimagined AAMI Annual Conference & Expo. The Exchange will be held June 7–10 in Cleveland, OH.

Participating in “Ask The Joint Commission” is easy. Just submit your question and your name to www.aami.org/AskTJC.
