How does Accreditation Now assist in helping our organization keep track of job descriptions?
CARF Required Job Description Reviews
CARF standards require that job descriptions be reviewed annually by both management, to ensure job descriptions are correct and current, and individual personnel, to ensure they understand their job description. Accreditation Now offers an excellent system for reviewing your job descriptions. The system will shorten the time spent by your Surveyor on this aspect of CARF compliance. Paper reviews requires that the surveyor review the same job description multiple times. With the Accreditation Now system, the surveyor only need review each job title once and check an additional report for acknowledgment of all staff members.
Setting up job descriptions before setting up users, allows personnel to select their own job description when creating their user accounts. This prevents you from having to add them to each, individual personnel later. It’s easy to do and provides two reports that are required annually.
