Example consent language for the release of root cause analyses to the Joint Commission:

Physician acknowledges that from time to time hospital conducts root cause analyses of occurrences in the hospital for the purpose of reducing errors and improving individual and systemic performance.

These root cause analyses are sometimes communicated to hospital accrediting bodies in furtherance of quality improvement.

Physician consents to communication of root cause analysis results to hospital accrediting bodies, with the understanding and subject to the condition that such accrediting body may not further disclose this information.
