The Joint Commission has added antidiscrimination language to MS.06.01.07 and MS.07.01.01 that prevents medical staffs from making medical staff appointment and credentialing decisions based on gender, race, creed, or national origin, according to the June issue of Perspectives. The Joint Commission had deleted similar language back in 2003 because it felt that antidiscrimination issues were addressed elsewhere in the Comprehensive Accreditation Manual for Hospitals, but The Joint Commission’s Standards and Survey Procedures Committee found that the language was not sufficient. The standards will go into effect July 1.
