The PoC as a Management Tool

The provider plays a singular role in achieving and maintaining compliance. The provider must know the requirements and provide services that meet those requirements. Therefore, it is important that all staff learn the licensing requirements within their areas of responsibility. Staff knowledge and individual responsibility are key factors in achieving and maintaining compliance.

 

Facilities must take the initiative and responsibility for monitoring their own performance so that they are always in compliance with licensing requirements.

 

The PoC is a valuable management tool because it requires facilities to:

  • Achieve and maintain compliance.
  • Ensure that the underlying cause of cited violations does not recur.
  • Make changes that will result in improved care delivery for clients.
  • Improve provider operations.
