The Joint Commission Has Provided a Tool to Change Your Work Force: Are You Paying Attention?

Most health care manager wonder how to change employee “attitudes” so that thier staff will be more accountable for patient satisfaction, cost reduction, and quality of care. Employees were trained to function in an industry where the power player were the physician and the administrator and now it is exceedingly difficult to get them to switch their attention to the patient and the payer in a market-driven economy. For hospital managers, the answer may be right at their fingertips: The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations' standards demanding that employee competence be objectively measured, proven, tracked & trended, improved, and age specific. A comprehensive competence assessment system can save the health care manager enormous work in measuring fewer things, focusing performance assessment on the 20 percent of things that are true problems, and helping to specifically define certain competencies such as customer focus and cost consciousness so that coaching, training, and giving performance feedback is easier. Developing a comprehensive competence assessment system is a powerful tool to change the culture of organizations. Consequently, it is important that managers be aware of those possibilities before they embark on developing “competencies” or before their organizations get too carried away on redesigning systems to satisfy standards.
