There are several things you can do:
1. Contact the Joint Commission. The Joint Commission, along with the California Medical Association’s Institute for Medical Quality, conduct onsite surveys of accredited hospitals to be sure that they are providing quality care. Ask the Joint Commission to investigate your complaint.
