- Hospital representatives have the opportunity to submit clarifying evidence of standards compliance (ESC) if they believe they were in compliance with a particular standard at the time of the survey
- The clarification is part of the ESC process and must be submitted within 10 days following the posting of the official accreditation report on the facility’s extranet site
- The submission of a clarification does not negate the requirement for submission of a corrective ESC within 45 days (direct impact standard) or 60 days (indirect impact standard)
