Could you use a plain-English guide to complying with 4 of the JCAHO's top 5 problematic standards?

As you're probably well aware, the patient assessment and care of patients standards have been perennial top Type I's in recent years. But did you know that these standards now encompass 4 of the top 5 spots on the JCAHO's Top Type I's list? It's about time for a resource that explains exactly how to comply with these challenging standards.

This comprehensive, how-to resource contains all the information you need to not only achieve greater survey success, but also to demonstrate better patient outcomes through improved compliance.

Assessment and Care of Patients: Your Guide to JCAHO Compliance is designed to provide you with an easy-to-follow road map through the two of the most complex and problematic CAMH chapters related to patient assessment. It incorporates all the information you need to develop a better understanding of the standards and even includes specific surveyor questions and findings from recent surveys!

In Assessment and Care of Patients: Your Guide to JCAHO Compliance, she shares her hands-on experiences, providing you with real-world strategies, tips, and tools including:

  • Plain-English explanations of the patient assessment standards
  • Tools to help you jump-start your own patient assessment initiatives including 3 sample pain rating scales, a sample standardized flow sheet, and a functional assessment form
  • Time-tested examples to guide you in compliance--we provide actual sample questions asked by JCAHO surveyors!
  • Answers to commonly asked patient assessment questions such as What is the procedure for obtaining documentation of informed consent?
  • An easy-to-use guide organized by subject for simplicity in locating specific patient assessment standards
