The extensive online collection of immediately available, cost-effective JCAHO compliant programs, policies and documentation forms includes Human Resources, Improving Organizational Performance, Management of Information, and Nursing and Patient Care.
HospitalServiceNet provides on-site assistance, including full-service Mock Surveys, complete with concurrent training and specific document samples for hospitals and health systems. In addition, off-site telephone support is available for resolving specific issues.
Comment:
Logically structured Web site facilitates locating relevant material, in three formats: Download, CD-ROM, or manual. Consulting services and track record substantiated by on-site "success stories." Prices are competitive.
Online programs and procedures provide an integrated policy management system, as opposed to random isolated policies. As stated in the User Guide: "The foundation of all innovative hospital-wide improvement systems is the creation of written policy statements to facilitate education, training and performance measurement of all leadership and associate staff – and to do so as professionally, quickly and economically as possible. To achieve consistent, reliable staff performance, a hospital must provide written procedures that are easy to access and implement."
