While The Joint Commission does not specifically use the term "work history," it does require evidence of current competence and expects organizations to obtain information regarding licensure (or registration), education, training, experience, and competence.

One of the first steps in the process of verifying an applicant's history is to require each applicant to provide on the application a complete chronological history of his or her education, training, and experience.

Remember, when reviewing and verifying applicants' information, you must heed your organization's specific policies as well as any appropriate accreditor's requirements (e.g., The Joint Commission, NCQA, CMS).
