What is JCAHO compliance and what does it mean to me?

As an administrator, you have enough to coordinate without worrying about the terms and conditions of JCAHO Compliance.

The Joint Commission of Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) issues guidelines covering a broad range of responsibilities a health care facility must meet for accreditation. Included among these responsibilities addressed are those for criminal background checks for students, staff, and volunteers who provide health care, treatment and other such services in order to maintain JCAHO compliance. Essentially the JCAHO compliance standard regarding background screening requires that a facility use the same background check standards for volunteers and interns who participate in patient care as would be used for an employee.
