FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote	Schedule D, Part X, Line 2	THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE HAS DETERMINED THAT JCR IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. JCR IS SUBJECT TO INCOME TAXES ON INCOME DETERMINED TO BE UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME. AS OF JANUARY 2009, JCR ADOPTED THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD ASC 740-10 (FORMERLY KNOWN AS FASB INTERPRETATION NO. 48, ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES), WHICH PRESCRIBES A COMPREHENSIVE MODEL FOR HOW AN ORGANIZATION SHOULD MEASURE, RECOGNIZE, PRESENT, AND DISCLOSE IN ITS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT AN ORGANIZATION HAS TAKEN OR EXPECTS TO TAKE ON A TAX RETURN. JCR HAS ANALYZED TAX POSITIONS TAKEN FOR FILING WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AND ALL STATE JURISDICTIONS WHERE IT OPERATES. JCR BELIEVES THAT INCOME TAX FILING POSITIONS WILL BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION AND DOES NOT ANTICIPATE ANY ADJUSTMENTS THAT WOULD RESULT IN A MATERIAL ADVERSE AFFECT ON THE JCR'S FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OR CASH FLOWS. ACCORDINGLY, JCR HAS NOT RECORDED ANY RESERVES, OR RELATED ACCRUALS FOR INTEREST AND PENALTIES FOR UNCERTAIN INCOME TAX POSITIONS AT DECEMBER 31, 2011 FOR ITS UNITED STATES OPERATIONS. IN SEPTEMBER 2011, JCR'S EXEMPTION FROM INCOME TAX IN SINGAPORE EXPIRED. THE SINGAPORE BRANCH RECEIVED AN INITIAL 5 YEAR EXEMPTION FROM SINGAPORE INCOME TAXES. THIS EXEMPTION WAS GRANTED BY SINGAPORE'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BOARD (EDB) UNDER THE PIONEER SERVICE INCENTIVE PLAN (PIONEER). JCR'S SINGAPORE BRANCH WAS ABLE TO MEET SOME, BUT NOT ALL OF THE CONDITIONS FOR SUSTAINING THE EXEMPTION DURING THIS TIME PERIOD, AND THE POTENTIAL FOR THE TAXING AUTHORITY TO ASSESS TAXES ON PERIODS PREVIOUSLY EXEMPT FROM TAX DOES EXIST. JCR HAS REQUESTED A WAIVER OF THE PIONEER CONDITIONS AND HAS NOT YET BEEN INFORMED BY EDB AS TO THE RULING ON THIS REQUEST. JCR HAS ALSO SUBMITTED A NOT-FOR-PROFIT TAX INCENTIVE APPLICATION, BUT HAS YET TO RECEIVE A DECISION. AT THIS TIME, MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THAT THE EDB WOULD NOT REQUEST JCR TO PAY TAXES ON NET INCOME FOR THE PERIOD OF JANUARY 2009 - AUGUST 2011. BECAUSE JCR'S TAX-EXEMPTION EXPIRED IN SEPTEMBER AND A NEW EXEMPTION HAS NOT BEEN GRANTED, MANAGEMENT BELIEVES IT IS PROBABLE THAT THE EDB WILL CONSIDER THE SINGAPORE BRANCH TO BE A TAX-PAYING ENTITY FROM SEPTEMBER 1, 2011 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2011. AS A RESULT, AN ESTIMATED ACCRUED LIABILITY OF $6,355 HAS BEEN RECORDED AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2011 IN THE ACCOMPANYING STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL POSITION.

ORGANIZATION'S MISSION	FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1	(CONTINUATION FROM ABOVE) ELECTRONIC STANDARDS MANUAL ALL JOINT COMMISSION ACCREDITED ORGANIZATIONS ARE PROVIDED A COMPLIMENTARY "E-DITION" LICENSE. THE E-DITION IS A WEB-BASED FULLY SEARCHABLE VERSION OF THE JOINT COMMISSION COMPREHENSIVE ACCREDITATION MANUAL. USERS CAN DEVELOP A SERVICE PROFILE THAT REFLECTS THE TYPE OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES THEY PROVIDE, SO THAT ONLY THOSE APPLICABLE STANDARDS ARE INCLUDED IN THEIR PERSONALIZED VERSION. HOSPITAL RISK MANAGERS, ACCREDITATION SPECIALISTS AND COMPLIANCE OFFICERS MUST KEEP UP TO DATE ON FEDERAL AND STATE REGULATIONS AND JOINT COMMISSION REQUIREMENTS. NOT KEEPING CURRENT CAN HAVE SERIOUS PATIENT SAFETY CONSEQUENCES. E-DITION COMPLIANCE MONITOR, POWERED BY JOINT COMMISSION RESOURCES (JCR) AND MEDIREGS, OFFERS A DAILY UPDATED, PRE-SELECTED LIBRARY OF INDUSTRY REGULATIONS, SUCH AS THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION (CDC), CENTERS FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID SERVICES, FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION (FDA), OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION (OSHA) AND STATE REGULATORS. E-DITION COMPLIANCE MONITOR PLUS (ECM PLUS) FEATURES INTERACTIVE SMART CHART TECHNOLOGY AND ALL OF THE FUNCTIONALITY AND CONTENT CONTAINED IN ECM. SMART CHART IS A WORKFLOW TOOL THAT ENABLES SIMILAR TOPICS TO BE MAPPED ON ONE SCREEN FOR EASY VIEWING. THE SMART CHART FEATURE HAS HELPED DECREASE TIME SPENT RESEARCHING VARIOUS TOPICS, THUS IMPROVING PRODUCTIVITY, REDUCING COST, AND CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS TO SPEND MORE TIME ON PATIENT CARE AND LESS ON RESEARCHING VARIOUS REGULATIONS. JOINT COMMISSION INTERNATIONAL ACCREDITATION JCI STANDARDS AND EVALUATION METHODS ARE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE QUANTIFIABLE BENCHMARKS FOR PATIENT CARE QUALITY AND IMPROVEMENTS IN THE HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION. JCI STANDARDS AND EVALUATION METHODS WERE DESIGNED TO STIMULATE AND SUPPORT SUSTAINED QUALITY IMPROVEMENT AND TO PROVIDE A FRAMEWORK FOR RISK REDUCTION. THE STANDARDS WERE DEVELOPED AND ARE CONTINUOUSLY REVISED BY HEALTH CARE EXPERTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD. JCI PROVIDES INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS AND ACCREDITATION PROGRAMS FOR HOSPITALS, CLINICAL LABORATORIES, AMBULATORY CARE, LONG TERM CARE, HOME CARE, PRIMARY CARE, AND MEDICAL TRANSPORT ORGANIZATIONS. JCI ALSO PROVIDES DISEASE-SPECIFIC AND CLINICAL CARE PROGRAM CERTIFICATION IN PROGRAMS SUCH AS PRIMARY STROKE, HEART FAILURE, CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE, HIV/AIDS, ONCOLOGY CARE, PALLIATIVE CARE, AND DIABETES CARE. JCI IS ACCREDITED WORLDWIDE BY THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR QUALITY IN HEALTH CARE (ISQUA), INCLUDING JCI'S ACCREDITATION PROGRAM/ORGANIZATION, STANDARDS AND SURVEYOR TRAINING PROGRAM. ISQUA IS A NON-PROFIT, INDEPENDENT ORGANIZATION THAT ACCREDITS HEALTH CARE ACCREDITING BODIES. ACCREDITATION UNDER ISQUA'S INTERNATIONAL ACCREDITATION PROGRAM PROVIDES THE ASSURANCE THAT THE STANDARDS, TRAINING, AND PROCESSES USED TO SURVEY THE PERFORMANCE OF HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS BY JCI MEET THE HIGHEST INTERNATIONAL BENCHMARK. WORK WITH MINISTRIES OF HEALTH AS NATIONS AROUND THE WORLD SEEK TO RAISE STANDARDS FOR HEALTH CARE, JCI COLLABORATES WITH MINISTRIES OF HEALTH TO DEVELOP NATIONAL ACCREDITATION PROGRAMS. IN CHINA, TURKEY AND JORDAN, JCI HAS ASSISTED THE MINISTRIES WITH DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR OWN ACCREDITATION STANDARDS AND A SYSTEM TO EVALUATE COMPLIANCE. IN DUBAI HEALTHCARE CITY, JCI SERVES AS THE OFFICIAL ACCREDITATION AGENCY FOR THE GOVERNMENT, AND JCI HAS WORKED WITH REGIONAL HEALTH CARE BODIES IN ITALY ON SEVERAL PATIENT SAFETY INITIATIVES.
ORGANIZATION'S MISSION	FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1	(CONTINUATION FROM ABOVE) INTERNATIONAL ESSENTIALS OF HEALTH CARE QUALITY AT THE REQUEST OF SEVERAL MINISTRIES OF HEALTH, JCI DEVELOPED A NEW PROGRAM IN 2008 - THE INTERNATIONAL ESSENTIALS OF HEALTH CARE QUALITY AND PATIENT SAFETY - WHICH IS A QUALITY AND SAFETY ROADMAP DESIGNED TO HELP HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS IDENTIFY AND FOCUS ON THOSE AREAS THAT POSE THE GREATEST RISK TO PATIENT SAFETY. USE OF THE ROADMAP HELPS INDIVIDUAL HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS INCREMENTALLY BUILD QUALITY CAPACITY, AND HELPS MINISTRIES OF HEALTH EVALUATE QUALITY CAPACITY WITHIN THEIR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. IN ADDITION, THE PROGRAM CAN GIVE HEALTH CARE PURCHASERS AND INSURANCE COMPANIES THE DATA THEY NEED TO MAKE CHOICES THAT DIRECT PATIENTS TO LOWER-RISK HEALTH CARE SETTINGS. THE INTERNATIONAL ESSENTIALS OF HEALTH CARE QUALITY AND PATIENT SAFETY IS DIFFERENT FROM ACCREDITATION IN THAT IT FOCUSES ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF KEY PROCESSES THAT INFLUENCE CARE QUALITY AND SAFETY. ACCREDITATION EVALUATES THE ENTIRE ORGANIZATION INCLUDING PATIENT CARE AND MANAGEMENT PROCESSES. WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION COLLABORATING CENTRE FOR PATIENT SAFETY SOLUTIONS THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO) HAS DESIGNATED THE JOINT COMMISSION AND JOINT COMMISSION INTERNATIONAL AS THE WORLD'S FIST WHO COLLABORATING CENTRE DEDICATED TO PATIENT SAFETY SOLUTIONS. SINCE ITS LAUNCH IN 2005, THE COLLABORATING CENTRE HAS BECOME A THRIVING INTERNATIONAL NETWORK THAT IDENTIFIES, EVALUATES, ADAPTS, AND DISSEMINATES PATIENT SAFETY SOLUTIONS WORLDWIDE. NINE PATIENT SAFETY SOLUTIONS HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED TO PREVENT SOME OF THE MOST COMMON MEDICAL ERRORS, INCLUDING: 1. LOOK-ALIKE, SOUND-ALIKE MEDICATION NAMES 2. PATIENT IDENTIFICATION 3. COMMUNICATION DURING PATIENT HAND-OVERS 4. PERFORMANCE OF CORRECT PROCEDURE AT CORRECT BODY SITE 5. CONTROL OF CONCENTRATED ELECTROLYTE SOLUTIONS 6. ASSURING MEDICATION ACCURACY AT TRANSITIONS IN CARE 7. AVOIDING CATHETER AND TUBING MISCONNECTIONS 8. SINGLE USE OF INJECTION DEVICES 9. IMPROVED HAND HYGIENE TO PREVENT HEALTH CARE-ASSOCIATED INFECTION THESE SOLUTIONS ARE AVAILABLE FREE OF CHARGE ON THE COLLABORATING CENTRE'S WEBSITE, WHICH RECEIVES MORE THAN 2,100 VISITORS PER MONTH. THERE WAS AN IDENTIFIED NEED FOR A COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION OF THE INAUGURAL SOLUTIONS. AN EVALUATION STUDY ADDRESSING IMPACT, DISSEMINATION, AND VALUE OF THE SOLUTIONS WAS UNDERTAKEN BY WHO AND IS IN THE FINAL STAGES. A REPORT OF THE FINDINGS IS ANTICIPATED WITHIN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. IT IS ALSO ANTICIPATED THAT THE NEXT SET OF PATIENT SAFETY SOLUTIONS WILL BE RELEASED IN 2012. THESE SOLUTIONS WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE OUTCOME OF THE SOLUTIONS EVALUATION STUDY. THE COLLABORATING CENTRE HAS ESTABLISHED, AND CONTINUES TO EXPAND, A COLLABORATIVE NETWORK TO FACILITATE THE IDENTIFICATION OF HIGH PRIORITY SAFETY PROBLEMS AND POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS AROUND THE WORLD. THE JOINT COMMISSION AND JCI DONATE IN-KIND SUPPORT OF SALARIES, BENEFITS, AND TRAVEL EXPENSES FOR DEDICATED STAFF CONTINUING THE WORK OF THE WHO COLLABORATING CENTRE FOR PATIENT SAFETY. SOLUTIONS AND PROGRESS REPORTS ARE PUBLISHED ON THE WHO COLLABORATING CENTRE FOR PATIENT SAFETY WEB SITE, WHICH IS IN COLLABORATION WITH THE JOINT COMMISSION AND JOINT COMMISSION INTERNATIONAL. THE ACTION ON PATIENT SAFETY: HIGH 5'S THROUGH THE WHO ACTION ON PATIENT SAFETY INITIATIVE, ALSO KNOWN AS THE HIGH 5'S PROJECT, THE COLLABORATING CENTRE IS SUPPORTING A PROGRAM TO ACHIEVE MEASURABLE, SIGNIFICANT, AND SUSTAINABLE REDUCTIONS IN CHALLENGING PATIENT SAFETY PROBLEMS THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION OF STANDARD OPERATING PROTOCOLS WITHIN A GLOBAL LEARNING COMMUNITY OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. THE INITIATIVE IS A COLLABORATION SUPPORTED BY THE US AGENCY FOR HEALTHCARE RESEARCH AND QUALITY (AHRQ) AND THE WHO. IN 2008, THE HIGH 5'S COMPLETED PHASE ONE OF THE PROJECT WHICH WAS THE DEVELOPMENT OF STANDARD OPERATING PROTOCOLS AND A DETAILED IMPACT EVALUATION. THE HIGH 5'S SOLUTIONS INCLUDE: 1. PREVENTION OF PATIENT CARE HAND-OVER ERRORS 2. PREVENTION OF WRONG SITE/WRONG PROCEDURE/WRONG PERSON SURGICAL ERRORS 3. PREVENTION OF CONTINUITY OF MEDICATION ERRORS 4. PREVENTION OF HIGH CONCENTRATION DRUG ERRORS 5. PROMOTION OF EFFECTIVE HAND HYGIENE PRACTICES IN 2011, THE HIGH 5S PROJECT CONTINUED THE MANAGEMENT AND SUPPORT OF THE IMPLEMENTATION PHASE OF THE PROJECT. KEY ACTIVITIES THAT WERE COMPLETED DURING 2011 INCLUDED: * SUPPORTING SEVEN COUNTRIES IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ONE OR MORE OF THE SOPS. * REFINING THE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM INCLUDING IMPROVING DATA GRAPHING FUNCTIONALITY, REVISING SOP IMPLEMENTATION QUESTIONNAIRES FOR EASE OF ENTRY TO THE INTERNATIONAL REPORTS, AND UPDATING THE HOSPITAL DEMOGRAPHICS PAGE. * DEVELOPING AN EVENT ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY FOR CORRECT SITE SURGERY AND CONTRIBUTED TO THE MEDICATION RECONCILIATION METHODOLOGY, REFINING THE METHODOLOGIES BASED ON PILOT TESTING, PROVIDED TRAINING FOR FULL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE METHODOLOGIES, AND DEVELOPED TEMPLATES FOR REPORTING EVENT ANALYSIS RESULTS. * PROVIDING MULTIPLE WEB TRAINING SESSIONS ON THE FOLLOWING TOPICS: THE SOPS, THE WEBSITE, REGISTERING HOSPITALS, EVENT ANALYSIS, DATA ENTRY, AND DISCUSSION FORUMS. * CONDUCTING GROUP CONFERENCE CALLS TO PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ON THE SOPS, EVALUATION, INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, LEARNING COMMUNITY, AND OTHER PROJECT-RELATED TOPICS. * CONDUCTING INDIVIDUAL TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CALLS WITH LTAS OR HOSPITALS. * CONDUCTING IN-DEPTH BREAK-OUT SESSIONS ON EACH SOP AT THE STEERING GROUP MEETINGS. * UPDATING AND REFINING THE TOOLKITS ON THE HIGH 5S WEBSITE. * SUPPORTING ACTIVITIES OF THE COLLABORATIVE LEARNING COMMITTEE. * PROVIDING TRAINING TO TEAMS IN TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO. WORK WITH WHO TO DECREASE ACQUISITION OF HIV IN AFRICA RESEARCH FINDINGS HAVE SHOWN THAT MALE CIRCUMCISION SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASES TRANSMISSION OF HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS (HIV). THESE RESEARCH FINDINGS HAVE PROMPTED COUNTRIES EXPERIENCING A HIGH INCIDENCE OF HIV TO ANTICIPATE A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN ADULT MALES SEEKING CIRCUMCISION. HOWEVER, PERFORMING THE SURGERY SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY IS CRITICAL. AS A RESULT, THE WHO, WITH ASSISTANCE FROM JCI, EMBARKED TO DEVELOP AND ASSIST COUNTRIES IN IMPLEMENTING STANDARDS FOR MALE CIRCUMCISION SERVICES. THE WHO SELECTED JCI BECAUSE OF ITS EXPERIENCE IN QUALITY IMPROVEMENT AND IN DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING STANDARDS. JCI HELPED DEVELOP THE STANDARDS WHICH HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED BY THE WHO. THESE STANDARDS FOR CIRCUMCISION USE EVIDENCE-BASED GUIDELINES TO PERFORM THE SURGERY CORRECTLY AND MANAGE COMPLICATIONS. THE STANDARDS ADDRESS ASSURING THAT DRUGS, SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT ARE AVAILABLE, STAFF ARE COMPETENT, AND INFECTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL MEASURES ARE IN PLACE. THE NEW STANDARDS ALSO ADDRESS PRIVACY CONCERNS AS WELL AS INFORMED CONSENT. AFTER FIELD TESTING THE STANDARDS IN SWAZILAND, UGANDA, KENYA, AND ZAMBIA, JCI IS NOW WORKING WITH WHO TO HELP INDIVIDUAL COUNTRIES IMPLEMENT THE STANDARDS AND MANAGE THE CHANGES NEEDED TO ENSURE SAFE CIRCUMCISION SERVICES.
