1 PR Review Project: The Joint Commission Deletes 225 Hospital Requirements Project REFRESH (see related articles on pages 1 and 3) includes a project first announced in the December 2015 Perspectives: the evaluation of s and elements of performance (s) in order to identify s that were no longer considered necessary to assess quality and safety. Some of these were no longer needed because they had become a routine part of operations or clinical practice. Others were actually covered under other s. This effort to modernize and streamline Joint Commission resulted in the deletion of 225 s from the Comprehensive Accreditation Manual for Hospitals (CAMH). The majority of these deletions 131 are effective July 1, The other 94 deleted s, which relate to duplicative restraint and seclusion s, become effective in January 2017 and are discussed below. None of the deletions are connected to Medicare Conditions of Participation. The Joint Commission deleted from 13 of the CAMH s 18 s chapters. The following chapters were excluded from review: Accreditation Process Requirements (APR), Life Safety (LS), Medical Staff (MS), and National Patient Safety Goals (NPSG). Potential deletions from the Emergency Management (EM) chapter will not be implemented until comparisons can be made to the Center for Medicare & Medicaid s (CMS) final rule on emergency management (which should be available in the first part of 2016). Restraint and Seclusion Deletions Many of the deletions in the Provision of Care (PC) chapter 94 s were restraint and seclusion s, and these require more explanation. The deleted restraint and seclusion s were only applicable to organizations that do not use accreditation for Medicare reimbursement purposes. The deleted s were very similar to other restraint and seclusion (Standards PC through PC ) that address the Conditions of Participation (CoPs). For simplicity and clarity, The Joint Commission decided to use the restraint and seclusion s that address the CoPs for all organizations, regardless of deemed status. These restraint s deletions (Standards PC through PC ) will go into effect in January 2017, six months later than the others. Additional information about this change will be included in a future Perspectives article. Rationale for Deletions The deletion of these is not expected to change current patient care or to affect quality and safety. The review project was initiated, in part, as a response to customer feedback regarding the complexity of Joint Commission s. The Joint Commission also recognizes that the concepts of some s, considered groundbreaking when they were introduced years ago, have now become part of organizations routine operations. Therefore, while it is important to continue following the practices that hospitals find to be useful, it is no longer necessary to include them in s. Removing such allows a greater focus on the most important contemporary quality and safety issues. For the most part, the deletions fall into one or more of the following categories: l Are duplicative of, or implicit in, other existing s l Address issues that, having been covered by s for many years and are now a routine part of operations or clinical care, no longer need to be in s. Some of them no longer address contemporary quality and safety concerns, and how they are managed can be left to the discretion of the organization. l Are adequately by law and regulation or other external, so separate Joint Commission are not needed The deleted listed in the table beginning on page 6 will be posted on The Joint Commission website at prepublication_s.aspx; they are no longer part of the manual as of the spring E-dition and the 2016 Update 1. Next Steps In the next phase of the project, The Joint Commission will continue to evaluate s for possible deletion or consolidation in anticipation of a second phase of deletions for January During this time, The Joint Commission will also closely monitor feedback from the field for comments on the first phase of deletions. The complexity of federal and state regulations makes any changes in s challenging, and The Joint Commission is prepared to make further modifications to the s to improve s and safeguard patients. Questions may be directed to Maureen Carr, MBA, project director, Department of Standards and Survey Methods, The Joint Commission, at mcarr@jointcommission.org.
