  • Title: Beyond JCAHO: using competency models to improve healthcare organizations. Part I.
    Author: Decker PJ, Strader MK, Wise RJ.
    Journal: Hosp Top; 1997; 75(1):23-8. PubMed ID: 10168717.
    Abstract:
    In 1996 the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) required hospitals to assess, prove, track, and improve the competence of all employees. Part 1 of this two-part series discusses competencies, their assessment, and the implications of meeting and going beyond JCAHO's requirements. Part 2, which will appear in the next issue of Hospital Topics, provides specific guidelines for the development of a competence assessment system and its practical application.
