Synopsis:
Continuous compliance starts with staff who know what The Joint Commission requires. The 2021 Comprehensive Accreditation Manual for Critical Access Hospitals (CAMCAH) provides all the key information your organization needs to power performance improvement and maintain continuous standards compliance. It features the official Joint Commission standards, National Patient Safety Goals, and other accreditation requirements, including standards and elements of performance for the optional Primary Care Medical Home certification. The portable CAMCAH is spiral bound with color-coded tabs that allow you to find exactly what you need for standards compliance or survey readiness when you need it. It's lean and light, making it a perfect on-the-go reference. Keep it handy in meetings, during orientation and training, and as a practical overview of the Joint Commission's accreditation requirements for everyone in your organization, from staff to leaders. Then, get ready to power performance improvement and excellence in your organization! Please note: The CAMCAH is delivered annually. For the most up-to- date standards throughout 2021, access your E-dition on your Joint Commission ConnectTM extranet site or consider purchasing the E- dition Critical Access Hospital version. Not sure if your organization is a critical access hospital? A critical access hospital is defined by CMS as hospital that offers limited services and is located more than 35 miles from a hospital or another critical access hospital, or is certified by the state as being a necessary provider of health care services to residents in the area. It maintains no more than 25 beds that could be used for inpatient care. This manual won't apply unless you meet those criteria.
