Return Reference Explanation
Form 990, Part III, Line 1 ORGANIZATION MISSION CONTINUED 1 of 6 (CONTINUATION FROM Part III, Line 1) quality and safety of care provided by the organization. THESE ACCREDITATION SERVICES ARE PROVIDED FOR HOSPITALS, CLINICAL LABORATORIES, HOME CARE, NURSING CARE CENTER, ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITY, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE, AND AMBULATORY CARE ORGANIZATIONS. JOINT COMMISSION ACCREDITATION AND CERTIFICATION ARE RECOGNIZED NATIONWIDE AS A SYMBOL OF QUALITY THAT REFLECTS AN ORGANIZATION'S COMMITMENT TO MEETING OPTIMUM ACHIEVABLE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS. TO EARN AND MAINTAIN THE JOINT COMMISSION'S GOLD SEAL OF APPROVAL, AN ORGANIZATION MUST UNDERGO A SURVEY BY A JOINT COMMISSION SURVEY TEAM AT LEAST EVERY THREE YEARS. LABORATORIES MUST BE SURVEYED AT LEAST EVERY TWO YEARS. IN ORDER FOR A HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATION TO PARTICIPATE IN AND RECEIVE PAYMENT FROM THE MEDICARE OR MEDICAID PROGRAMS, IT MUST MEET ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR PROGRAM PARTICIPATION, INCLUDING A CERTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION, SET FORTH IN FEDERAL REGULATIONS. THIS CERTIFICATION IS AVAILABLE ON THE BASIS OF SURVEYS CONDUCTED BY STATE AGENCIES ON BEHALF OF THE CENTERS FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID SERVICES (CMS). WHEN THE JOINT COMMISSION HAS DEVELOPED AND ENFORCES STANDARDS AND SURVEY PROCEDURES THAT MEET OR EXCEED THE FEDERAL CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION, CMS MAY GRANT THE JOINT COMMISSION "DEEMING" AUTHORITY AND DEEM EACH ACCREDITED HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATION AS MEETING MEDICARE AND MEDICAID CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS. IN FACT, FEDERAL AND STATE AGENCIES OFTEN RELY ON THE EXPERTISE AND STANDARDS OF THE JOINT COMMISSION. FEDERAL DEEMED STATUS OPTIONS ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR AMBULATORY CARE SURGICAL CENTERS, CLINICAL LABORATORIES, CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITALS, HOME HEALTH AGENCIES, PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITALS, HOSPICES AND HOSPITALS. TO CONDUCT ITS ACCREDITATION SURVEYS, THE JOINT COMMISSION EMPLOYS AN EXPERIENCED, TRAINED CADRE OF SURVEYORS. BEYOND BASIC EDUCATION IN THE ACCREDITATION PROCESS, SURVEYORS RECEIVE EDUCATION IN SYSTEMS THEORY, ORGANIZATION BEHAVIOR, AND EVALUATION TECHNIQUES, AND ROBUST PROCESS IMPROVEMENT METHODS AND TOOLS. THE JOINT COMMISSION ALSO AWARDS DISEASE-SPECIFIC CARE CERTIFICATION TO HEALTH PLANS, DISEASE MANAGEMENT SERVICE COMPANIES, HOSPITALS AND OTHER CARE DELIVERY SETTINGS THAT PROVIDE DISEASE MANAGEMENT AND CHRONIC CARE SERVICES. THE JOINT COMMISSION'S CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATIONS OF DISEASE OR CONDITION-SPECIFIC SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ASTHMA, DIABETES, CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE, SKIN AND WOUND MANAGEMENT, PRIMARY STROKE CARE, JOINT REPLACEMENT, SPINAL SURGERY PROGRAMS, PALLIATIVE CARE, PERINATAL, INTEGRATED CARE, PATIENT BLOOD MANAGEMENT, AND MEDICATION COMPOUNDING. ADVANCED CERTIFICATION DISEASE-SPECIFIC CARE PROGRAMS ARE ALSO OFFERED BY THE JOINT COMMISSION, WHICH ARE DEVELOPED IN COLLABORATION WITH INDUSTRY EXPERTS, IN VARIOUS AREAS SUCH AS: CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE, HEART FAILURE, PRIMARY STROKE AND COMPREHENSIVE STROKE, VENTRICULAR ASSIST DEVICES, DIABETES DISEASE, AND CHRONIC PULMONARY DISEASE. THE JOINT COMMISSION'S HEALTH CARE STAFFING SERVICES CERTIFICATION PROGRAM PROVIDES INDEPENDENT, THOROUGH EVALUATIONS OF THE ABILITY OF STAFFING FIRMS TO PROVIDE COMPETENT STAFFING SERVICES. THE JOINT COMMISSION DEVELOPED THIS CERTIFICATION PROGRAM TO MEET QUALITY OVERSIGHT NEEDS THAT HAVE ARISEN BECAUSE OF THE ONGOING SHORTAGES OF NURSES AND OTHER PROFESSIONAL PERSONNEL. THESE SHORTAGES FORCE HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS TO FILL POSITIONS WITH TEMPORARY EMPLOYEES PROVIDED BY STAFFING FIRMS, WHICH ARE OFTEN NOT OTHERWISE SUBJECT TO ANY QUALITY OVERSIGHT MECHANISM. AT THEIR HEART, ACCREDITATION AND CERTIFICATION ARE RISK-REDUCTION ACTIVITIES; COMPLIANCE WITH APPROPRIATE STANDARDS REDUCES THE RISK OF ADVERSE OUTCOMES. THE JOINT COMMISSION SPECIFICALLY TARGETS IMPROVEMENT IN PATIENT SAFETY THROUGH THE FOLLOWING EFFORTS: PATIENT SAFETY-RELATED STANDARDS JOINT COMMISSION STANDARDS ADDRESS PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES AND EXPECTATIONS IN KEY FUNCTIONAL AREAS, SUCH AS PATIENT RIGHTS, MEDICATION MANAGEMENT, AND INFECTION CONTROL. THE STANDARDS AND EVALUATION PROCESS FOCUS NOT SIMPLY ON AN ORGANIZATION'S ABILITY TO PROVIDE SAFE, HIGH QUALITY CARE, BUT ON ITS ACTUAL PERFORMANCE. ALL STANDARDS RELATE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO SAFETY AND QUALITY-RELATED PATIENT OUTCOMES. THE JOINT COMMISSION DEVELOPS AND UPDATES ITS STANDARDS IN CONSULTATION WITH HEALTH CARE EXPERTS, PROVIDERS, PRACTITIONERS, MEASUREMENT EXPERTS, PURCHASERS AND CONSUMERS. OVER FIFTY PERCENT OF JOINT COMMISSION STANDARDS RELATE DIRECTLY TO PATIENT SAFETY, ADDRESSING A WIDE RANGE OF AREAS SUCH AS SURGERY AND ANESTHESIA, BLOOD TRANSFUSION, RESTRAINT AND SECLUSION, STAFFING AND STAFF COMPETENCE, FIRE SAFETY, MEDICAL EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE, EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, AND SECURITY. PATIENT SAFETY STANDARDS ADDRESS THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PATIENT SAFETY PROGRAMS; THE PREVENTION OF ACCIDENTAL HARM THROUGH THE PROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS AND REDESIGN OF VULNERABLE PATIENT SYSTEMS (E.G. THE ORDERING, PREPARATION, AND DISPENSING OF MEDICATIONS); AND THE ORGANIZATION'S RESPONSIBILITY TO TELL A PATIENT ABOUT ALL OUTCOMES OF THE CARE RESPECTING THAT PATIENT, WHETHER GOOD OR BAD. (Continuation Below)
Form 990, Part III, Line 1 ORGANIZATION MISSION CONTINUED 2 of 6 (Continuation from Above) SENTINEL EVENT POLICY THE JOINT COMMISSION'S SENTINEL EVENT POLICY IS DESIGNED TO HELP HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS TO IDENTIFY THE UNDERLYING CAUSES OF SENTINEL EVENTS AND TAKE ACTION TO PREVENT THEIR RECURRENCE. A SENTINEL EVENT IS AN UNEXPECTED OCCURRENCE INVOLVING DEATH OR SERIOUS PHYSICAL - INCLUDING LOSS OF LIMB OR FUNCTION - OR PSYCHOLOGICAL INJURY, OR THE RISK THEREOF. "RISK THEREOF" MEANS THAT, ALTHOUGH NO HARM OCCURRED ON THIS OCCASION, ANY RECURRENCE WOULD CREATE ANOTHER CHANCE FOR A SERIOUS ADVERSE OUTCOME. ANY TIME A SENTINEL EVENT OCCURS, THE HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATION IS EXPECTED TO COMPLETE A THOROUGH AND CREDIBLE ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS, IMPLEMENT IMPROVEMENTS TO REDUCE RISK, AND MONITOR THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THOSE IMPROVEMENTS. THE ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS IS EXPECTED TO DRILL DOWN TO EXAMINE ALL RELEVANT ORGANIZATION SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES THAT COULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED THE FAILURES LEADING TO THE OCCURRENCE. THIS EXAMINATION PROVIDES THE BASIS FOR RE-DESIGN OF SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES TO PREVENT RECURRENCE OF SIMILAR OCCURRENCES IN THE FUTURE. THE SENTINEL EVENT POLICY ALSO ENCOURAGES ORGANIZATIONS TO REPORT SENTINEL EVENTS, THEIR ASSOCIATED ROOT CAUSES AND RELATED PREVENTIVE ACTIONS TO THE JOINT COMMISSION SO THAT THE JOINT COMMISSION CAN SHARE WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS DE-IDENTIFIED, AGGREGATE INFORMATION ABOUT "LESSONS LEARNED", AND THEREBY REDUCE THE RISK OF FUTURE SENTINEL EVENT OCCURRENCES ACROSS THE DELIVERY SYSTEM. SENTINEL EVENT ALERTS A SENTINEL EVENT ALERT IS A PERIODIC NEWSLETTER OR WEBINAR THAT ADDRESSES SPECIFIC TYPES OF SENTINEL EVENTS, DESCRIBES THEIR COMMON UNDERLYING CAUSES, AND RECOMMENDS STEPS TO PREVENT FUTURE OCCURRENCES. INFORMATION FOR A SENTINEL EVENT ALERT IS DERIVED PRINCIPALLY FROM THE JOINT COMMISSION'S SENTINEL EVENT DATABASE. SENTINEL EVENT ALERT HAS RAISED AWARENESS IN THE HEALTH CARE COMMUNITY AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ABOUT THE OCCURRENCE OF ADVERSE EVENTS AND WAYS THAT THESE EVENTS CAN BE PREVENTED IN THE FUTURE. PAST ISSUES AND WEBINARS ARE AVAILABLE ON THE JOINT COMMISSION WEBSITE. TOPICS HAVE INCLUDED MEDICATION ERRORS, WRONG-SITE SURGERY, RESTRAINT-RELATED DEATHS, BLOOD TRANSFUSION ERRORS, INPATIENT SUICIDES, INFANT ABDUCTIONS, FATAL FALLS, OPERATIVE/POST-OPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS, HEALTH CARE WORKER FATIGUE, BEHAVIORS THAT UNDERMINE A CULTURE OF SAFETY, MATERNITY DEATHS AND INJURIES, INFECTION CONTROL, AND PREVENTING RETAINED FOREIGN OBJECTS NATIONAL PATIENT SAFETY GOALS THE JOINT COMMISSION ESTABLISHED A SET OF NATIONAL PATIENT SAFETY GOALS (NPSGS) AND RELATED SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR IMPROVING THE SAFETY OF PATIENT CARE IN HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS. ALL JOINT COMMISSION ACCREDITED HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS ARE REQUIRED TO IMPLEMENT GOAL-RELATED REQUIREMENTS-OR ACCEPTABLE ALTERNATIVES-THAT APPLY TO THEM. THE JOINT COMMISSION DETERMINES THE HIGHEST PRIORITY PATIENT SAFETY ISSUES, INCLUDING NPSGs, FROM INPUT FROM PRACTITIONERS, PROVIDER ORGANIZATIONS, PURCHASERS, CONSUMER GROUPS, AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS. EACH YEAR, RECOMMENDATIONS FROM SENTINEL EVENT ALERT PUBLISHED IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR AND FROM OTHER AUTHORITATIVE SOURCES ARE ADDED TO THE POOL. OFFICE OF QUALITY AND PATIENT SAFETY THE JOINT COMMISSION'S OFFICE OF QUALITY AND PATIENT SAFETY RECEIVES, EVALUATES, TRACKS, AND AS APPROPRIATE, RESPONDS TO COMPLAINTS AND REPORTS OF CONCERN ABOUT HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS THAT RELATE TO SAFETY AND CARE ISSUES. THIS INFORMATION COMES FROM PATIENTS, THEIR FAMILIES, ORGANIZATION STAFF, PRACTITIONERS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, AND OTHERS. THE OFFICE MAINTAINS A TOLL FREE HOT LINE AND ALSO RECEIVES WRITTEN REPORTS BY MAIL OR E-MAIL. WHEN A REPORT IS SUBMITTED, THE JOINT COMMISSION REVIEWS ANY PAST REPORTS AND THE ORGANIZATION'S MOST RECENT ACCREDITATION DECISION. DEPENDING ON THE NATURE OF THE REPORTED CONCERN, THE JOINT COMMISSION WILL TAKE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS: * INCORPORATE THE REPORTED CONCERN INTO THE QUALITY MONITORING DATABASE THAT IS USED TO TRACK HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS OVER TIME TO IDENTIFY TRENDS OR PATTERNS IN THEIR PERFORMANCE. * ASK THE ORGANIZATION TO PROVIDE A WRITTEN RESPONSE TO THE REPORTED CONCERN. * REVIEW THE REPORTED CONCERN AND COMPLIANCE WITH RELATED STANDARDS AT THE TIME OF THE ORGANIZATION'S NEXT ACCREDITATION SURVEY. * CONDUCT AN UNANNOUNCED EVALUATION OF THE ORGANIZATION IF THE REPORT RAISES SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT A CONTINUING THREAT TO PATIENT SAFETY OR CONTINUING FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH STANDARDS. (Continuation below)
Form 990, Part III, Line 1 ORGANIZATION MISSION CONTINUED 3 of 6 (CONTINUATION FROM ABOVE) INFECTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL INITIATIVES INFECTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF SAFE, QUALITY HEALTH CARE. THE JOINT COMMISSION IS ADDRESSING THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE WITH A NUMBER OF INITIATIVES AND PRODUCTS THROUGH THE EFFORTS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SERVICES RESEARCH. SOME EXAMPLES OF THE DEPARTMENT'S WORK INCLUDE: * The Joint Commission, The Pew Charitable Trusts, and the CDC co-sponsored a Technical Expert Panel (TEP) meeting in May 2018 to identify specific, effective, and recommended activities that Antibiotic Stewardship Programs (ASPs) should be doing based on current scientific evidence and the experience of leading organizations. In August 2022, The Joint Commission entered into a new agreement with Pew to conduct an 18-month study extending the antibiotic stewardship program work into the outpatient setting - specifically focused on ambulatory clinics associated with hospitals. * In 2020, with support from The Pew Charitable Trusts, research staff conducted a cross-sectional observational study using an electronic questionnaire to determine the extent to which hospitals are currently implementing the following antibiotic stewardship practices: a) development of facility-specific treatment guidelines, b) measuring appropriate use and concordance of care with these guidelines, c) engaging clinicians while the patient is on the unit, d) diagnostic stewardship, e) measurement of antimicrobial utilization data, and f) measuring hospital-acquired Clostridioides difficile infection rates (CDI). Among 288 acute care hospitals, most were using facility-specific treatment guidelines and measuring CDI and days of therapy. Practices for active engagement with frontline staff in prospective audit and feedback varied widely. A minority of hospitals had formally assessed compliance with one or more of the treatment guidelines or had procedures in place to prevent inappropriate diagnostic testing for urine specimens. Greater understanding of barriers to assessing adherence to hospitals' treatment guidelines and implementation of effective diagnostic testing procedures is needed to improve these practices. * In 2018, CDC staff approached The Joint Commission about analyzing and possibly publishing our experience with required reporting of serious infection prevention and control (IPC) breaches to state health departments. Beginning in October 2016, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued expanded guidance requiring accrediting organizations and state survey agencies to report serious infection control breaches to relevant state health departments. This study sought to characterize and summarize The Joint Commission's early experiences and findings in applying this guidance to facilities accredited under the ambulatory and office-based surgery programs in 2017. The analysis identified numerous opportunities for improved staff training and competencies. Results related to ambulatory settings were published in the Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety. Phase 2 of this project is underway by applying the same methodology to reported breaches from hospitals in order to compare the number and types of breaches between hospitals and ambulatory settings. * Research staff, together with collaborators from University of Iowa, implemented a project to examine recent literature on the relationship between safety culture and infection prevention and control-related (IPC) processes and healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in U.S. healthcare organizations. We also sought to quantitatively characterize the challenges to empirically establishing these relationships and limitations of current research. Authors frequently reported experiencing improvements in safety culture when not directly measured. The findings suggested that associations between improvement and safety culture may be bi-directional such that positive safety culture contributes to successful interventions and implementing effective interventions drives improvements in culture. * The Joint Commission continues to work closely with CDC, SHEA, APIC, IDSA and other groups to help ensure coordination and collaboration among organizations working to reduce the burden of infections. The Joint Commission's comprehensive accreditation standards and national patient safety goals specific to infection prevention and control have facilitated broader implementation of CDC practice recommendations. These standards emphasize infection prevention, continuous strategic surveillance for infection and infection-related risks, and timely interventions to address identified problems. * Continue to review, update, and maintain the contents of a web portal containing links to key guidance documents related to infection prevention and control and healthcare-associated infections. Access is free to all. PATIENT SAFETY RESEARCH THE JOINT COMMISSION'S DIVISION OF HEALTHCARE QUALITY EVALUATION WORKS WITH EXTERNAL COLLABORATORS TO ADVANCE THE FIELD OF PATIENT SAFETY RESEARCH. JOINT COMMISSION RESEARCH INITIATIVES INCLUDE: (Continuation below)
Form 990, Part III, Line 1 ORGANIZATION MISSION CONTINUED 4 of 6 (Continuation from above) * Survey of leading suicide prevention practices in hospitals. Funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts, this 2022-2023 study explores suicide risk screening practices (i.e., targeted versus universal screening) and the prevalence of leading suicide prevention discharge practices (i.e., formal safety planning, lethal means assessment, warm handoffs with outpatient providers, follow-up contact post-discharge). * Development of the Health Care Equity Resource Center. Inequitable health care is, first and foremost, a quality and safety issue. As a compliment to the new health care equity accreditation and certification standards, The Joint Commission conducted a series of case studies with health care organizations that were implementing health care equity initiatives designed to address health-related social needs. Elements of these case studies were incorporated into a publicly available website to help guide and encourage organizations as they seek to comply with the new health care equity requirements. Case study examples and resources are provided to help organizations build an infrastructure that can support long-term prioritization of health care equity. * Survey of clinician wellbeing practices in hospitals and federally qualified health centers. This 2022 internally funded survey was designed to assess the state of the field on the topic of organizational practices being implemented to measure and address clinician wellbeing in hospitals and federally qualified health centers. The survey focused on leadership, measurement practices, and comprehensive improvement efforts being implemented to address the growing problem of clinician burnout, which has a direct impact on patient safety and quality of care. * A Survey of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Prevention Practices in U.S. Hospitals. Funder: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities, Division of Blood Disorders. Sub-award with the Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD). The purpose of this project is to support a framework for improving VTE prevention practices through the evaluation of current VTE prevention practices in U.S. hospitals and VTE risk assessment as a performance measure. Initial activities include developing and implementing a survey for U.S. hospitals that characterizes the VTE prevention practices occurring at the general medical unit and general surgical unit. * The Effects of Organizational Culture and Related Factors on Healthcare Worker (HCW) Well-being and Patient Safety: A Scoping Review of Available Evidence. Funder: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health. This project will conduct a scoping review focused on examining the effects of organizational culture and related factors on healthcare worker well-being and patient safety. The initial scoping review will examine aspects of organizational culture such as safety culture, safety climate, leadership, teamwork, communication, and learning environment. Interventions in these areas will be identified where available and examined for their impact as well as any additional research or evaluation that may enhance the effectiveness or applicability of the intervention. * Maintenance of a healthcare-specific web portal of resources related to workplace violence that affects safety for patients and workers. It addresses a wide variety of healthcare settings and topics including resources related to prevention and response for active shooter events. Access is free to all. ACCREDITATION AND CERTIFICATION STANDARDS JOINT COMMISSION STANDARDS ARE DEVELOPED WITH INPUT FROM HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS, PROVIDERS, SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS, CONSUMERS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES (INCLUDING THE CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES) AND EMPLOYERS. THEY ARE INFORMED BY SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE AND EXPERT CONSENSUS AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS. NEW STANDARDS ARE ADDED ONLY IF THEY RELATE TO PATIENT SAFETY OR QUALITY OF CARE, HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON HEALTH OUTCOMES, MEET OR SURPASS LAW AND REGULATION, AND CAN BE ACCURATELY AND READILY MEASURED. RECENT STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES ARE DESCRIBED BELOW: * Evaluated issues related to customizing elements of performance based on organizational services and settings for our accreditation programs. Internal and external customers' input were considered, and solutions were developed and implemented. * Revision of antimicrobial stewardship requirements applicable to Joint Commission-accredited hospitals and critical access hospitals to clarify requirements and incorporate leading practices. * Development of a new Advanced Disease-Specific Care (DSC) certification program for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patient care: Comprehensive Heart Attack Center (CHAC), as well as revisions to the Primary Heart Attack Center (PHAC) and the Acute Heart Attack Ready (AHAR) certification programs. These certification programs will standardize and improve coordinated systems of care across settings for identification, assessment, monitoring, management, data sharing, and performance improvement for multidisciplinary ACS care. (Continued below)
Form 990, Part III, Line 1 Organization Mission Continued 5 of 6 (Continuation from above) * Development of a Memory Care Certification (MCC) option for Joint Commission-accredited assisted living communities. The purpose of the specialty certification is to ensure that assisted living communities serving residents who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia are meeting standards that support the delivery of high-quality care. New certification requirements reflect current scientific evidence and best practices in memory care, align with recommendations and practice guidelines from the Alzheimer's Association, and build on existing requirements for the assisted living community accreditation program. Revisions to the MCC certification for accredited nursing care centers were also made. * Development and revision of Workplace Violence Prevention standards for the hospital and critical access hospital accreditation programs and a compendium to provide a standardized approach to healthcare workplace violence prevention, reporting, and post-incident strategies. Standards for the behavioral health care accreditation program are in progress. * Revision of Emergency Management (EM) hospital and critical hospital standards to strengthen organizations' ability to prepare and respond to emergencies. Once these standards are complete, standards for other accreditation programs will be reviewed and revised. * Revisions to the Environment of Care and Life Safety Code Chapters within all accreditation programs to strengthen alignment with NFPA code. * Revisions to the nursing care center accreditation program to reflect the most current clinical practice guidelines and best practices for infection control, dementia care, staff recruitment, retention and wellness, pressure injuries, and medication safety. * Revisions to all Stroke Certification programs requirements to align with American Heart Association Guidelines. * Development (in progress) of a Rural Health Clinic Accreditation program that will include deeming recognition. * Development of a new Advanced Certification for Perinatal Care program with ACOG partnership. This new program supports integrated, coordinated, patient-centered care that begins with prenatal care and continues through postpartum care. * Development of new and revised requirements to reduce health care disparities for Joint Commission-accredited ambulatory health care organizations, behavioral health care and human services organizations, critical access hospitals, and hospitals. The new accreditation requirements address health care disparities as a quality and safety priority. * Development of a new Health Care Equity (HCE) certification program to recognize hospitals and critical access hospitals that strive for excellence in their efforts to provide equitable care, treatment, and services. The new certification requirements emphasize the structures and processes that health care organizations need to decrease health care disparities in their patient populations and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion for their staff. * Revisions to Infection Control (IC) Chapter requirements for all accreditation programs. * Development of new requirements for Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHC) for the behavioral health care accreditation program. CCBHCs provide coordinated, comprehensive access to a variety of behavioral health and primary physical health services to all individuals in accordance with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) criteria. CCBHCs are required to serve anyone who requests care for mental health or substance use, regardless of their ability to pay, place of residence, or age. * Development of new and revised requirements for critical access hospitals and hospitals certified under the Patient Blood Management certification program. The Patient Blood Management certification program is a voluntary certification based on the Association for the Advancement of Blood & Biotherapies (AABB) Standards for a Patient Blood Management Program. The two-year certification encompasses all aspects of the transfusion decision-making process, including patient evaluation and clinical management. The program is designed to reduce the need for allogenic blood transfusions and reduce costs while ensuring that blood components are available for patients who need them. * Additionally, The Joint Commission is working with experts to explore the following safety and quality issues that may be considered for inclusion in standards: * Medications for opioid use disorder * Environmental sustainability in healthcare * Hospital at Home * Telehealth * Restraint/Seclusion requirement revisions for the behavioral health care program (Continuation below)
