Select an active patient and trace their care from admission to current status. Stop at each department involved. Observe, ask questions, check records. Document findings immediately.
A mock tracer walkthrough form for quality managers and department leaders conducting Joint Commission-style tracers through their units. Follows the methodology surveyors use — selecting a patient, tracing their care journey across departments, observing the environment at each stop, and interviewing staff on key safety and quality topics.
Joint Commission surveys rely heavily on tracers to assess real-time compliance. This checklist captures what you observe and hear during a walkthrough — the same things a surveyor would note. Conducting monthly mock tracers is the most effective way to maintain continuous survey readiness and catch issues before they become Requirements for Improvement.
