Age Specific Competence : JCAHO Compliance Tool for Hospitals, Health Systems, and Healthcare Organizations to Teach About and Document Competencies of Staff in Treatment for Different Age Groups

This title is part of the University of HealthCare/University of Business Interactive Training Library, which offers authoritative, clearly written material in an interactive form for better comprehension and documentation of completion.

Documentation of age-specific competence of staff in healthcare organisations is a requirement for JCAHO certification.

This course is a great compliance tool to help organisations teach and test the basics of age-competent care in an easy way.

This course consists of two parts: the first part (77 pages) teaches you about the requirements and how to meet them.

Upon the completion of this overview of age-specific competence, you will be able to explain why age-related competence is important, explain why age-related competence is important for JCAHO inspections, and list and describe steps in the implementation of an age-related competence program.

The second part (135 questions pages) consists of five short tests that enable you to document your age-specific competence easily on Infants, Children, Adolescents, Adults, and Elderly. These tests cover general characteristics of age specific competencies that apply to most healthcare organisations and are not a substitute for customised ones that some organisations may require.
