Reflect from a personal standpoint if accreditation factors into your choice of what hospital or clinic you or your family uses as a patient. Then, from a professional standpoint, reflect on whether you would rather work in an accredited organization or if it does not matter. Explain your viewpoints and rationale for both of your preferences.

Would you go to a hospital certified by CMS? Why is accreditation an important aspect of the health care business? Do Joint Commission accredits all health care organizations? What is a site visit, what is a survey, who does this?
