One of the most challenging standards for hospitals right now is HR.01.02.05, which requires hospitals to verify staff qualifications. About 25% of hospitals surveyed during the first six months of this year have received Requirements for Improvement for this standard, according to data from The Joint Commission. One of the reasons that many hospitals are struggling with this requirement and similar HR process issues is because of the complexity in the paperwork and other human resources processes due to the numbers and varieties of staff in any given hospital, says Kathy Eichner, a health care expert and consultant for Joint Commission Resources.
