Scenario

Sunset Psychiatric Services is a 50-bed psychiatric hospital for youth and adolescents in Township, Minnesota. They also have three outpatient treatment facilities located in surrounding towns. Because Sunset Psychiatric Services is a small facility, you have multiple roles within the facility. You are the Director of HIM, Assistant Director of Compliance, and the official liaison between the facility and accrediting, certification, and licensure bodies.

While in your office, you received a phone call from Wanda Williams, the CEO of Sunset Psychiatric Services. She has a friend, Dr. Mark Martin, who has described a great need for psychiatric services for adults in the northern part of the state and is interested in opening a facility to meet that need. Dr. Martin has met with many healthcare professionals to learn about the process of opening a facility; however, he now wants to know about Joint Commission accreditation and state licensure procedures. The CEO knows you are an expert in those areas and asked if it would be all right with you to send your contact information to Dr. Martin. You happily agree to serve as a source of information for Dr. Martin.

A few days after the call with the CEO, you receive the following email from Dr. Martin:

Good Afternoon,

Thank you for agreeing to help me. Ms. Williams said you were the best person to answer my questions because of your work with your own facility. I am quite confused about the role of the Joint Commission and the purpose of state licensure. Can you explain them and the impact they have on healthcare?

Sincerely,

Instructions

Compose an email responding to Dr. Martin. Write a response email in a Word document and be sure to include headings that would normally be found in email correspondence. In your email be sure to address the following:

Explain state licensure requirements for healthcare organizations and the maintenance of state licensures. Discuss why it is necessary for healthcare organizations to receive a state license and the processes that may be involved in achieving and maintaining a license.

Assess methods healthcare organizations use to monitor their compliance of accreditation standards and licensure regulations. Include the importance and purpose of using these methods to monitor compliance.
