How long is the HCSS certification valid?
Effective January 1, 2006, the Health Care Staffing Services certification shifted from an annual review cycle to a biennial review cycle. Reviews conducted in 2006 will be valid for two years. The review will be based on: An on-site review, which allows the Joint Commission to evaluate factors relevant to the certification process • An Intracycle Event, beginning January 2009, which includes an evaluation of the performance measurement activities and other certification topics of interest via conference call with a Joint Commission Reviewer.
