Joint Commission posts recommended changes to IC standards
Infection Control Monitor, April 27, 2007
Infection control professionals should check The Joint Commission's Web site to see recommended changes to the accreditor's infection control standards.
As part of its Standards Improvement Initiative, the Joint Commission said it planned to post the proposed changes for public comment beginning April 25. The changes will remain posted until June 6 and the Joint Commission is seeking feedback from healthcare organizations.
The Joint Commission said the goal of its initiative is to eliminate non-essential standards and ensure that the remaining standards are understandable and relevant. Go to www.jointcommission.org/Standards/SII/ to see the proposed changes.
