The Joint Commission released its 2017 reporting requirements for ORYX, a performance measurement and improvement initiative for which facilities are required to collect and submit data on six sets of core measures. As of January 1, 2017, hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAH) will be expected to:
• Report on five required chart-abstracted measures.
• Report on six of the 13 available electronic clinical quality measures. Facilities will get to choose which six they want to report on.
• Report on all of the chart-abstracted perinatal care measures if the facility has at least 300 live births annually.
• Hospitals with an average daily census of 10 patients or fewer and CAHs will report on a choice of six available measures.
Meanwhile, freestanding children’s hospitals, long-term acute care hospitals, and inpatient rehabilitation facilities won’t have to follow these requirements. However, freestanding psychiatric hospitals will have to document and report back on four required hospital-based inpatient psychiatric measures.
