Content Description

This new straightforward, hands-on resource—the 2022 Compliance Assessment Workbook for Behavioral Health Care and Human Services—engages staff and leadership in accreditation activities with questions, templates, and tools to identify areas of noncompliance and plan to address them. The workbook includes ALL behavioral health care and human services (BHC) standards and elements of performance (EPs), including those used for behavioral health home certification. A color-coded compliance matrix allows you to capture manually (in the hard copy) or digitally (in the PDF site license) your compliance level with each EP and the evidence you used to assess standards compliance. Clear questions correlated directly to each EP help your organization assess whether you are meeting standards—a “No” or “ITL” (“Immediate Threat to Life”) answer should prompt action from your accreditation team. Downloadable, adaptable tools and templates help you identify and prioritize needed improvements and maintain continuous survey readiness. For example, you’ll use the Plan of Action Follow-Up worksheets to develop and prioritize next steps to bring noncompliant EPs back into compliance. The Required Documentation worksheets help you to track how your organization meets those EPs with Required Written Documentation icons in the E-dition®/Comprehensive Accreditation Manual for Behavioral Health Care and Human Services (CAMBHC). Your organization needs resources when preparing for a Joint Commission survey to ensure you are compliant and ready for survey. The 2022 Compliance Assessment Workbook for Behavioral Health Care and Human Services allows you to self-assess compliance with all applicable requirements and plan and implement corrective actions before a Joint Commission survey begins, focusing compliance efforts and simplifying where possible. A PDF site license allows you to download a copy to a central, secure location so your accreditation prep team can capture and share these learnings and data across the organization. If you’re looking for a self-assessment option that takes you beyond the simplicity of E-dition®/CAMBHC but is more budget-friendly than Tracers with AMP®, the 2022 Compliance Assessment Workbook for Behavioral Health Care and Human Services is for you. Buy a hard copy for each member of your accreditation team, or a PDF site license for all to share!
