Every month, Briefings on The Joint Commission brings you the latest news in Joint Commission survey preparation, standards interpretation, and best practices, as well as CMS and other hospital accreditation-related topics. This month, we look at a hospital system that has moved over to DNV’s NIAHO accreditation, speak with hospitals and their recent experience with CMS validation surveys, and look at methods for dealing with the more than 150 new or revised Elements of Performance announced earlier this year.
