IM.01.01.01 is similar to the old standard IM.1.10; however, The Joint Commission (formerly JCAHO) has reformatted, renumbered, and rewritten it to focus on IM planning.
Complying with IM.01.01.01 requires an ongoing, continually evolving plan based on the organization’s mission, goals, and needs. Because IM touches every department and influences most decisions about the services that providers render, planning for it should be an integral part of the organization’s annual strategic goals process.
Organizations should also conduct a periodic assessment of user needs and an assessment of the long-term goals for the facility. This ongoing planning will ensure that the organization continues to improve patient care and safety as the organization evolves.
