The Joint Commission Updates
TJC has released the Revisions to Decision Rules and the Post-Survey Process. The following changes have been made as of 1/1/2017 for all organizations seeking re-accreditation:
-
An organization with a decision of Accreditation with Follow-up Survey will receive notice of full accreditation once it has successfully submitted Evidence of Standards Compliance (ESC). However, a follow-up survey must be conducted within six months to confirm sustained compliance with the ESC.
-
Another change is that the category of Contingent Accreditation has been eliminated, leaving only four possible decision outcomes for currently accredited organizations: Accredited, Accreditation with Follow-up Survey, Preliminary Denial of Accreditation, and Denial of Accreditation.
