IHS Accreditation Standards e-Training

Program Description

Integral Healthcare Solutions, LLC, (“IHS”) offers AccrediTrain to applicants for accreditation.  AccrediTrain trains each employee in the accreditation standards that apply to that employee’s particular role in the organization.  AccrediTrain is a web application that provides role-based, individualized training on each applicable accreditation standard.  AccrediTrain also provides the organization with documentation of each employee’s training progress.

How does AccrediTrain work?  

Organization Assigns Roles for Each Employee

The organization provides IHS with the names and email addresses of each employee.  The organization also advises IHS of all the accreditation-relevant roles each employee plays within the organization (e.g., human resources, IT, medical management, and quality management).  IHS then assigns each employee a certain collection of applicable accreditation standards.

Employee Logs In

The employee then logs on to the AccrediTrain web site with his/her a unique user ID and password.  Once logged in, he/she finds the assigned standards in “books”. 

The AccrediTraining Begins

The employee clicks on the first assigned book, where he/she will find a list of the standards in that book.

The employee then clicks on the first link, an introductory video explaining how to go through the training.  (Click here for an example).

After viewing the video, the employee clicks on the link in the lower right corner to begin the training.

AccrediTrain Meets Three Levels of Instructional Need

A typical page addresses the accreditation standard at three levels according to the staff level of the employee (entry level, manager, accreditation team leader):

“The Basics” – this summary of the standard’s requirements is for all employees who have responsibilities related to that standard, regardless of where the employee is in the organization’s hierarchy.

“Management Tips” – this section provides additional information for supervisors and those who develop policies and procedures or trainings.

“Accreditation Tips” – this section targets those directly involved in the accreditation process.

Some training pages also include short videos to augment the written training materials (click here for an example).  

Training Content – Developed by Experts

Top experts in accreditation develop the content of AccrediTrain’s modules.  For example, IHS’s URAC experts all have over 10 years of experience in URAC, both as former senior executives of URAC and as URAC reviewers with hundreds of accreditation reviews under their belts.  Click here and here and here for the bios of three of our URAC experts.

Documentation of Training

Documentation of employees’ progress through their assigned training is important.  With AccrediTrain, the organization’s training supervisor can print a report that shows each employee’s progress through his/her assigned modules, as well as the beginning and ending dates of the employee’s training period.

This reporting mechanism is useful both as a management tool and for documentation of compliance with the training requirements of regulators and accreditors.
