The Basics

This standard very simply requires that your staff members meet the requirements of the jobs they occupy, as described in the job descriptions required by the previous standard.

Management Tips

The personnel file audit we recommend in our lengthier blog on the topic later in this unit should include a check for a concurrence between job descriptions and résumés.

URAC Accreditation Tips

The standard is mandatory, and, like Core 25, has a straightforward documentation requirement at the AccreditNet phase of the process: submit job descriptions.  You may (and should) submit the same documents you submitted for Core 25.

The difference here with Core 4 is in the onsite review: for the staff members selected from the employee directory, the reviewer will compare the job descriptions' requirements to the résumés of the respective employees to make sure that they meet the requirements as outlined in the job descriptions.
