Survey preparation
DHCS and Joint Commission survey preparation
A master crosswalk from every TJC Behavioral Health Care standard and DHCS certification requirement to the policy that answers it, staff training for the tracer questions, and self-audit checklists rolling out through the library.
How it works
Map your program
Mark which levels of care and services you run; the crosswalk shows which standards apply.
Adopt the policies
Each gap in the crosswalk points at the policy that closes it.
Train the staff
Courses with certificates for the roles surveyors interview.
Trace your own charts
Checklists and mock tracers before the real ones.
