The JCAHO plans to come out with new credentialing standards, targeted to take effect in January 2006.
The credentialing standards need to be completely rewritten and put into a more logical format, said Robert A. Wise, MD, vice president of the JCAHO's division of standards and survey methods. The JCAHO plans to submit a draft of the new standards and elements of performance to its privileging and credentialing task force by the end of the year, Wise told an audience at the National Association Medical Staff Services annual conference held in Miami in late September.
The accreditor plans to release the new standards in 2005, although they will not take effect until 2006 surveys. The JCAHO is looking at reorganizing credentialing standards, MS.4.10 through MS. 4.40, found in the medical staff chapter of the Comprehensive Accreditation Manual for Hospitals (CAMH).
