Linda is the director of the medical staff services department at Dameron Hospital in Stockton, CA, and the president of the CAMSS Yosemite Chapter.
Here’s a description of the tool in Linda’s own words: The gap analysis was developed utilizing the new Joint Commission Standards for MS.01.01.01 in an effort to find any gaps in our bylaws and associated documents. It creates an organized view of what we have and what we need to develop. I have used this tool for many of the standards throughout the year with great success.
