1 Health Care Staffing Certification Written Documentation Requirements 2010

2 Appendix C Certification Review Process: Documentation Requirements This table is provided as a reference that can be used by both the health care staffing services (HCSS) firm and the reviewer. In some instances, documentation is required to demonstrate compliance with standards and elements of performance (EPs). In other situations, documentation may help the reviewer determine if requirements are met; however, the standards and EPs do not require the organization to have material available in writing. In those instances, the HCSS firm will demonstrate compliance with the standards and EPs by using other methods. HCSS Refreshed Core, January 2010 AXC 1
