The long-awaited Long Term Care Accreditation Reinvention Project has reached an important milestone, and we are proud to release the revised standards in the 2013 Comprehensive Accreditation Manual for Nursing and Rehabilitation Centers: The Guide for Powering Performance Excellence in Your Organization (CAMNAR). This comprehensive accreditation manual will arrive in a colorful, rebranded 9" x 9" 3-ring binder designed to hold the 6" x 9" replacement pages that will come with the fall update. The CAMNAR provides the key information your organization needs to power performance improvement and maintain continuous standards compliance. It features the refreshed standards, elements of performance (EPs), and scoring applicable July 1, 2013, to all nursing homes and rehabilitation centers, along with the standards and EPs for the new Rehabilitation and Advanced Care Certification option. A summary of changes clearly summarizes all new and revised requirements and other changes. When you receive your fall update, simply insert the replacement pages into your accreditation binder following the directions provided in its table of changes. The CAMNAR provides everything you need to successfully achieve and maintain compliance with Joint Commission accreditation and optional specialty certification standards. Inside you'll find tips and strategies for finding the information you need to stay current with Joint Commission standards, descriptions of the survey and decision process, questions to prompt discussion in your organization about compliance with the standards, checklists of the elements of performance that require written documentation, and action planning worksheets to address any issues of noncompliance. Get ready to power performance improvement and excellence in your nursing home or rehabilitation center. All accredited organizations automatically receive one complimentary copy of the revised 2013 CAMNAR in April and its fall update.
