Medical Staff Standards: Winning Strategies for Your JCAHO Survey,
5th Edition Paperback: 170 pages
The current JCAHO's medical staff standards represent the most major overhaul to the survey process in several years and include a complete revision of the credentialing and privileging standards. Although the standards may be less redundant, medical staff leaders need to know more than ever what standards are unchanged, what standards are new, what rumored requirements are not requirements at all, and what exactly JCAHO surveyors will expect. There are still many areas where your hospital is required to implement a process or function in order meet the JCAHO's expectations. For most hospitals, this is the toughest, most time-consuming challenge in complying. The Compliance Guide to the Medical Staff Standards Winning Strategies for Your JCAHO Survey retains the many features that made the previous editions so popular - and adds new elements specific to the current process. You'll receive:
Like the first four editions, The Compliance Guide to the Medical Staff Standards will help organizations sort through the maze of medical staff requirements by clearly explaining new or changed requirements and translating troublesome existing requirements.
This new edition represents the JCAHO's shift from a focus on survey-day preparedness to continuous survey readiness. It outlines the keys to compliance using sample crosswalks and checklists, easy-to-read descriptions, and real-life examples. Who will benefit from this comprehensive compliance guide?
Actual comments and real-life experiences from the field will give you and your staff a good idea of what you can expect during your JCAHO survey. In addition to looking at the individual standards and discussing what steps your organization must take to ensure compliance, the book also provides a rating of how difficult it is to meet each standard.
