TRACK TRAINING ATTENDANCE |
Continuing education is essential to effective health care, and ContinuTrac Medical
(CTM) provides the means to document and manage training. CTM enables you to keep
records complete and timely. Joint Commission (JCAHO) and other administrative reviews
seek to confirm that your staff is current with the latest protocols and techniques
to produce successful patient outcomes. Education is one of the key components in
staffing effectiveness performance measures. CTM allows you to easily view the training
progress of your staff.
Now more than ever hospitals need to be in a constant state of readiness for JCAHO
surveys. With unannounced surveys beginning in 2005-2006, organizations can no longer
wait until a month or two before a survey to begin.
"The new accreditation process, dubbed ’Shared Visions - New Pathways’, creates
the expectation that each accredited organization be in compliance with 100 percent
of the Joint Commission’s standards 100 percent of the time", said Dennis S. O’Leary,
M.D., president, JCAHO during the March 28, 2003 session of the Board of Commissioners.
Focus issues commonly addressed during random unannounced JCAHO surveys include
review of medical staff credential files, staff competency, staff education and
training, environment of care issues, staff interviews, documentation review, medication
management and physical inspection.
One of the benefits of CTM is that it not only documents the improved quality of
care that results from a staff that is up to date with their education, but keeps
you continually prepared to show the effort placed into creating staff effectiveness.
As a manager, you can easily track the progress of your entire department by using
the audit reports or email notifications of when your staff needs to have additional
training. If you are an administrator, you can track credentials across multiple
departments. CTM supplements a surveyor’s review of personnel files to address staff
education and training issues.
"Shared Visions-New Pathways provides strong incentives for organizations to provide
safe, high-quality care at all times; such organizations should be prepared for
a JCAHO survey at any time", said Bernard L. Hengesbaugh, Chairman and Public Member,
Joint Commission Board of Commissioners at the March 28 Board of Commissioners session.
"Being ready for a thorough survey at any time is a logical extension of the accredited
organization’s commitment to continuous improvement."
