This book presents practical explanations and guidance related to the standards in the “Management of Human Resources” (HR) chapter of the Comprehensive Accreditation Manual: Behavioral Health Care.

Many of the HR-related compliance challenges which behavioral health care organizations face are addressed, including:

  • planning for effective staffing;
  • orienting,
  • training,
  • educating staff; and
  • assessing, maintaining, and improving staff competence.

The book focuses on these and many other topics by offering proven strategies organizations can use to correct deficiencies that may pose compliance difficulties. Special features include:

  • Frequent “Standards Links” citing specific Joint Commission standards, followed by detailed clarifications of their meanings
  • Detailed descriptions of the role of HR issues in Joint Commission initiatives and processes
  • Numerous forms, checklists, sample policies, and case studies from actual accredited behavioral health care organizations.

The Joint Commission is an independent, not-for-profit organization, established more than 50 years ago. Joint Commission is governed by a board that includes physicians, nurses, and consumers. The Joint Commission evaluates and accredits more than 15,000 health care organizations and programs in the US. An independent, not-for-profit organization, the Joint Commission is the nation's predominant standards-setting and accrediting body in health care.
