JCAHO's ethics, rights, and responsibilities standards can be troublesome, problematic, and difficult to comply with. Both the JCAHO and CMS have responded to high-profile, end-of-life care events and ethical challenges by increasing their focus on these areas.

The Compliance Guide to Ethics, Rights, and Responsibilities: Winning Strategies for JCAHO and CMS Compliance provides the policies, procedures, tips, and tools you need to comply with these thorny standards. This book zeroes in on the most problematic JCAHO and CMS standards and provides a focused look at topics spanning topics such as:

  • pain management

  • informed consent

  • corporate compliance

  • advance directives

  • privacy

You will need to make sure staff are aware of hospital policies and that they know how to comply with CMS and JCAHO standards. You also need to be certain that your facility has effective processes in place to avoid conflicts of interest and other instances that prompt ethical concerns. If that's not enough, you have to do all this while balancing the sensitive issues surrounding privacy, security, and end-of-life care.

To help you, this book delivers:

  • time-saving forms, policies, and procedures that you can adapt to meet the particular needs of your facility

  • complete guidance on organizational ethics

  • practical tips for meeting both CMS and JCAHO requirements

  • tools to help you organize your compliance efforts

  • analysis of why so many organizations have trouble complying with these standards

  • compliance advice based on real-life case studies of how organizations like yours are complying with these problematic areas

  • plain-English explanations of the JCAHO standards

  • best-practice strategies to ensure that your facility's compliance efforts are ongoing rather than just episodic

Topics fully covered and resources include:

  • JCAHO Ethics, Rights, and Responsibilities Standards

  • Organizational ethics

    • Ethical behavior and conflict of interest

    • Integrity of care decisions

  • Rights and responsibilities of patients

    • Individual patient rights and responsibilities

    • Patient involvement in care and end-of-life issues

    • Informed consent

    • Effective communication and complaint resolution

    • Safe and secure environment

    • Pain management

  • Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Patients' Rights Condition of Participation

    • Notice of rights

    • Exercise of rights

    • Privacy and safety

    • Confidentiality of patient records

    • Restraint and seclusion

    • Ethics committees
