Tips for Accreditation Readiness
CARF 2012 Standards Manual - 1.A.3.k. This standard states that leadership guides an annual review of the organization's policies. One of the best ways for surveyors to observe evidence of conformace is for the organization to document on the policy the dates of review as well as dates when revised.
It is suggested that each page be numbered (e.g., Page 2 of 3). The name of the person who reviewed the policy and authorized the revision could also be indicated. |
