1. The Joint Commission cannot tell all HCOs to do-can only influence Joint Commission accredited HCOs, and it would be difficult to track incivility.

3. Incivility is important to control, but there is much more to HCO accreditation.
4. The Joint Commission cannot tell all HCOs to do, can only influence Joint Commission accredited HCOs-it leaves strategies up to its accredited HCOs. This strategy also puts patients on the spot since incivility is a complex behavior.
