The JCAHO is seeking comment on proposed revision to its standards that address "oversight of individuals who function under the supervision of licensed independent practitioners," according to a December 1 press release. The proposed revisions would require organizations to implement a process to determine the competence of such providers.
The revisions would apply to critical access hospitals, hospitals, and long-term care and behavior healthcare facilities.
According to the press release, the proposed changes attempt to address the "increasingly common practice, in a variety of clinical settings for a licensed independent practitioner to bring his or her own employee, or someone for whom he or she has clinical responsibility, into a [healthcare] organization to assist in the care of patients."
To complete the field review questions, go to www.jcaho.org/accredited+organizations/field_reviews.htm before January 5, 2005.
