title: Using self-studies to meet JCAHO requirements.
abstract: Using self-studies to provide mandatory information for hospital employees is both cost effective and time effective. Time invested in writing and distributing these programs is well worth it provided learning is verified through testing. Records of mandatory information can be kept either by hand on education cards or by computer. Periodic updates of material keep the self-study process fresh and interesting for participants and educators alike.
