2009 Joint Commission standards available online
Credentialing & Verification Update, July 15, 2008
Last week, The Joint Commission released the pre-publication version of its 2009 hospital accreditation program standards for public review under its Standards Improvement Initiative. MSPs will immediately notice the standard's numbering and ordering have changed significantly. The Joint Commission did not add any new requirements, but renumbered many standards and rewrote chapter overviews and introductions, rationales, and elements of performance.
Launched in 2006, The Joint Commission Standards Improvement Initiative is designed to clarify language, delete redundant and unneeded standards, and consolidate related standards. Under the initiative, The Joint Commission makes the rewritten standards publicly available in advance of publication. After the public review is complete, the standards will no longer be available online and must be purchased.
