Look for posting of Joint Commission's 2009 standards in July
Emergency Management Alert, May 27, 2008
Hospital officials should get a preview this summer of The Joint Commission’s emergency management standards for 2009.
The Joint Commission has noted that it will post final versions of 2009 standards online sometime around July 1.
Expect PDF versions of the new standards prior to their publication in the print version of the Comprehensive Accreditation Manual for Hospitals (CAMH), according to the current issue of Joint Commission Online. The accreditor indicated it will also post a crosswalk between the old and new standards.
As of January 1, 2009, the EC chapter in the CAMH will split into revised EC standards, a new life safety chapter, and a new emergency management chapter.
