| Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote | The Internal Revenue Service has determined that The Joint Commission and its affiliates are exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Joint Commission and its affiliates are subject to income taxes on income determined to be unrelated business taxable income. The Joint Commission accounts for income tax uncertainties in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740-10, Income taxes - overall (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. The Joint Commission has analyzed tax positions taken for filing with the Internal Revenue Service and all state jurisdictions where it operates. The Joint Commission 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 Joint Commission's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Accordingly, the Joint Commission has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at December 31, 2014 or 2013 for its United States operations. |

| Form 990, Part III, Line 1 ORGANIZATION MISSION CONTINUED | (CONTINUATION FROM ABOVE) THESE ACCREDITATION SERVICES ARE PROVIDED FOR HOSPITALS, CLINICAL LABORATORIES, HOME CARE, LONG TERM CARE, 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 AN ON-SITE 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 APPROXIMATELY 500 SURVEYORS THAT INCLUDE LIFE SAFETY SPECIALISTS. 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 IS ALSO THE FIRST ACCREDITING BODY TO REQUIRE ITS SURVEYOR CADRE TO ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN CERTIFICATION THROUGH FORMAL PERIODIC EXAMINATIONS. 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, CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE, CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE, SKIN AND WOUND MANAGEMENT, PRIMARY STROKE CARE, JOINT REPLACEMENT, SPINAL SURGERY PROGRAMS, AND PALLIATIVE CARE. AN ADVANCED CERTIFICATION IN DISEASE-SPECIFIC CARE PROGRAM IS 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 CENTERS, COMPREHENSIVE STROKE CENTERS, VENTRICULAR ASSIST DEVICES, AND ETC. 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. (CONTINUATION BELOW) |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 1 ORGANIZATION MISSION CONTINUED | (CONTINUATION FROM ABOVE) 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 ON-SITE 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. 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. THE JOINT COMMISSION BEGAN PUBLISHING SENTINEL EVENT ALERTS IN 1998 TO REDEFINE THE PRINCIPAL PURPOSE OF ADVERSE EVENT REPORTING AS BEING FOR LEARNING. 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 IN JULY 2002, THE JOINT COMMISSION ESTABLISHED ITS FIRST SET OF SIX NATIONAL PATIENT SAFETY GOALS (NPSGS) AND 11 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 GOALS AND REQUIREMENTS ARE DRAWN FROM A "POOL" OF RECOMMENDATIONS IDENTIFIED BY THE PATIENT SAFETY ADVISORY GROUP AS EVIDENCE- OR CONSENSUS-BASED, COST-EFFECTIVE, AND FEASIBLE TO IMPLEMENT. EACH YEAR, RECOMMENDATIONS FROM SENTINEL EVENT ALERT PUBLISHED IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR AND FROM OTHER AUTHORITATIVE SOURCES ARE ADDED TO THE POOL. (CONTINUATION BELOW) |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 1 ORGANIZATION MISSION CONTINUED | (CONTINUATION FROM ABOVE) 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 ON-SITE EVALUATION OF THE ORGANIZATION IF THE REPORT RAISES SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT A CONTINUING THREAT TO PATIENT SAFETY OR CONTINUING FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH STANDARDS. INFECTION 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. * THE JOINT COMMISSION DEVELOPED "TDAP VACCINATION STRATEGIES FOR ADOLESCENTS AND ADULTS, INCLUDING HEALTH CARE PERSONNEL: STRATEGIES FROM RESEARCH AND PRACTICE," A FREE MONOGRAPH, FOCUSING ON BARRIERS TO SUCCESSFUL TDAP VACCINATION PROGRAMS AND STRATEGIES FOR OVERCOMING THEM. * THE JOINT COMMISSION HAS TEAMED UP WITH THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES (HHS) ON THE INITIATIVE TO INCREASE IMMUNIZATION RATES OF HEALTHCARE WORKERS FOR SEASONAL INFLUENZA. * THE JOINT COMMISSION, ALONG WITH THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION (AHA) AND THE ASSOCIATION FOR PROFESSIONALS IN INFECTION CONTROL AND EPIDEMIOLOGY (APIC), PARTNERED WITH THE SOCIETY FOR HOSPITAL EPIDEMIOLOGY OF AMERICAN (SHEA) AND THE INFECTIOUS DISEASES SOCIETY OF AMERICA TO UPDATE THE "COMPENDIUM OF STRATEGIES TO PREVENT HEALTHCARE-ASSOCIATED INFECTIONS IN ACUTE CARE." THE COMPENDIUM, PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED IN 2008, CONTAINED IMPLEMENTATION-FOCUSED STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS CENTRAL LINE ASSOCIATED BLOODSTREAM INFECTION, VENTILATOR ASSOCIATED PNEUMONIA, CATHETER ASSOCIATED URINARY TRACT INFECTION, SURGICAL SITE INFECTION, METHICILLIN-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS, AND CLOSTRIDIUM DIFFICILE INFECTION. NEWLY DEVELOPED AND PUBLISHED IN THE 2014 UPDATE WERE STRATEGIES TO PREVENT HEALTHCARE-ASSOCIATED INFECTIONS THROUGH HAND HYGIENE. * THE JOINT COMMISSION DEVELOPED THE NURSING-SENSITIVE BLOOD STREAM INFECTION MEASURE, URINARY CATHETER-ASSOCIATED URINARY TRACT INFECTION FOR INTENSIVE CARE UNIT (ICU) PATIENTS MEASURE, AND VENTILATOR-ASSOCIATED PNEUMONIA FOR ICU PATIENTS MEASURE. * The Joint Commission, with funding from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), studied the validity of race and ethnicity in vaccination for influenza in vulnerable elderly, and determined whether race might influence immunization rates of long-term care facility residents. * The Joint Commission and its affiliates received funding for an international project "Prevention of Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSI): Preferred Practices and Use of Technology." The project consisted of two phases. Phase one produced a free monograph, "Preventing Central Line-associated Bloodstream Infections: A Global Challenge, A Global Perspective," highlighting evidence-based practices known to minimize and prevent CLABSI (2012). As a result of phase two, a toolkit was developed to support organizational self-assessment relative to recommended practices and to provide guidance respecting achievement of the preferred state of practice (2013). * The Joint Commission was awarded an IDIQ contract under the CDC Safety and Healthcare Epidemiology Prevention Research Development (SHEPheRD) program. This funding mechanism is designed to solicit required services through issuance of individual task orders in support of healthcare acquired infection (HAI) prevention research studies that meet public health priorities for CDC. The Joint Commission works with their project partners to continually respond to task order requests for proposals stemming from this program. * The Joint Commission conducted a project to determine the effectiveness of universal glove and gowning procedures in reducing HAI rates in the ICU. * The Joint Commission conducted a project to determine whether a pre-operative antibiotic prophylaxis algorithm that includes the use of antibiotics shown to be effective against resistant gram-positive organisms is effective in reducing the number of SSIs attributable to resistant gram-positive organisms. * The Joint Commission conducted a project (through a CDC cooperative agreement) to develop an educational on-line course for care providers regarding the use of Rapid Influenza Diagnostic Testing (RIDTs) in ambulatory settings. The Joint Commission continues to host, promote, and update course to educate clinicians about the appropriate use of RIDTs within the context of circulating influenza types and prevalence. In addition, another course was developed focusing on influenza pandemic preparedness. * The Joint Commission conducted a project to identify how high reliability practices can be applied in facility-based long term care settings to reduce transmission of infection. Two products resulted from this project: an online, easy-to-use, engaging 50-minute e-learning module designed for the long term care (nursing home, assisted living) settings, which has been disseminated internationally; and, a searchable index of related resources, derived from a scoping literature review, that is intended to identify effective practices that improve reliability and reduce transmission of infections in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Both products are available at no charge. * The Joint Commission continually works 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. * To reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infections, National Patient Safety Goals have been implemented focusing on preventing central line bloodstream infections and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (both central venous catheters and peripherally inserted central catheter lines) in patients in hospitals. * The Joint Commission collaborated with CDC/NIOSH/NPPTL to develop an educational monograph designed to assist hospitals in addressing common challenges and barriers in the implementation of respiratory protection programs. The monograph, "Implementing Hospital Respiratory Protection Programs: Strategies from the Field," features case study examples, strategies, and new resources. The Joint Commission is currently embarking on expanded dissemination of this monograph. (CONTINUATION BELOW) |

JOINT COMMISSION RESEARCH INITIATIVES HAVE INCLUDED: * DEVELOPMENT OF A FIELD GUIDE ADVANCING EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION, CULTURAL COMPETENCE, AND PATIENT- AND FAMILY-CENTERED CARE TO LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL AND TRANSGENDER PATIENTS AND FAMILIES. * CREATION OF AN INTERNATIONAL, COLLABORATIVE LEARNING NETWORK THAT FOSTERS THE SHARING OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE IN IMPLEMENTING INNOVATIVE, STANDARDIZED OPERATING PROTOCOLS THAT ADDRESS PATIENT SAFETY. * DEVELOPMENT OF A MONOGRAPH ON THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR SYNERGY, COLLABORATION, AND INNOVATION BETWEEN PATIENT SAFETY AND WORKER SAFETY IN HEALTH CARE. * DEVELOPMENT OF A PROTOCOL DESIGNED TO HELP CLOSE THE GAPS IN IMPLEMENTATION OF THE UNIVERSAL PROTOCOL BY SYSTEMATICALLY ADDRESSING AND PREVENTING LAPSES IN IMPLEMENTATION. THE JOINT COMMISSION IS CURRENTLY TESTING THE PROTOCOL IN ONE HOSPITAL AS PART OF A RESEARCH PROJECT FUNDED BY THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR HEALTHCARE RISK MANAGEMENT. * Collaboration on the CMS Partnership for Patients, Hospital Engagement Network. Worked with Joint Commission Resources (a HEN contractor) to design the evaluation methodology and assist participating hospitals with data collection and analysis of data across 11 adverse event areas. The goal of this three year projects was to achieve a 40% reduction in hospital adverse events and a 20% reduction in hospital readmissions.. * Work on a project to create and pilot test an Informed Consent toolkit to help hospitals improve their informed consent process. * Work with the Office of the National Coordinator to analyze Sentinel Event data associated with Health IT and development of a free online course (providing CE credit), titled "Investigating and Preventing Health Information Technology-Related Patient Safety Events" to teach staff how to identify, report and address health IT-related safety concerns in health care organizations. * Work with Pfizer Independent Grants for Learning and Change (IGLC), previously known as the Pfizer Medical Education Group (PMEG), to successfully pilot test a partnership with the long-term goal to support an array of projects designed to accelerate the adoption of evidence-based innovations that improve patient care. This collaboration was designed to utilize the Request for Proposal (RFP) process to identify, fund and oversee projects related to specific improvement objectives that align the mutual interests of patients, health care providers and the two partner organizations. Phase I of this project focused on providing a funding opportunity for antimicrobial stewardship. Three project awards were issued. Phase II is focused on projects related to transitions of care (TOC) among a defined venous thromboembolism patient population. 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 HAVE INCLUDED: * WORK WITH THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION AND AMERICAN STROKE ASSOCIATION TO DEVELOP COMPREHENSIVE STROKE CENTER REQUIREMENTS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY AND SAFETY OF CARE FOR COMPLEX STROKE PATIENTS. THE JOINT COMMISSION CONTINUES TO MONITOR THE RAPIDLY CHANGING SCIENCE IN THIS FIELD TO ASSURE REQUIREMENTS ALIGN WITH CURRENT SCIENCE. * WORK WITH EXPERTS IN THE DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING FIELD TO IMPLEMENT STANDARDS TO ENSURE THE SAFE DELIVERY OF DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING SERVICES TO PATIENTS RECEIVING COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT), NUCLEAR MEDICINE (NM), POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY (PET), AND MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI) SERVICES. THE JOINT COMMISSION IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPING STANDARDS ADDRESSING ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING TECHNOLOGIES. * Development of certification requirements for perinatal care that focus on achieving integrated, coordinated, patient-centered care that starts with prenatal care through postpartum care. This certification focuses on the essential, high-value requirements that will improve perinatal outcomes for mothers and newborns who have been assessed as clinically uncomplicated. For the future, The Joint Commission is considering the development of a program focused on requirements for addressing high-risk pregnancies and births. * Development of an integrated care center certification (ICC) program that provides a pathway for inpatient and outpatient providers that form an ICC to do the following: A. Establish a strong foundation for care coordination and clinical integration B. Decrease variation in the management of chronic disease and increase adherence to well-researched, evidence-based clinical practices C. Create and demonstrate the capacity to efficiently coordinate and integrate patient care, treatment, and services D. Build upon what these providers are already doing independently for patient care, treatment, and services and strengthen their capacities to support patients as they move among providers and home. The initial focus is on hospitals and ambulatory care settings; future expansion to home care and nursing care centers is planned. * Research on telehealth issues across health care settings. Existing standards are being evaluated and modified as necessary to reflect contemporary practices. * Research on a potential new optional certification program for accredited organizations for patients undergoing total hip and total knee replacement procedures. The requirements will support quality, consistency, and safety throughout the pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative phases of care. It will address transitions that occur within each of those phases. The program will apply to surgeries performed in inpatient, hospital-based outpatient, and ambulatory surgery settings. THE SPEAK UP INITIATIVES IN MARCH 2002, THE JOINT COMMISSION, TOGETHER WITH THE CENTERS FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID SERVICES (CMS), LAUNCHED A NATIONAL SPEAK UP PROGRAM TO URGE PATIENTS TO TAKE AN ACTIVE ROLE IN PREVENTING HEALTH CARE ERRORS BY BECOMING INVOLVED AND INFORMED PARTICIPANTS ON THE HEALTH CARE TEAM. THE SPEAK UP PROGRAM FEATURES BROCHURES, POSTERS AND BUTTONS ON A VARIETY OF PATIENT SAFETY TOPICS INCLUDING: * HELP PREVENT ERRORS IN YOUR CARE * HELP AVOID MISTAKES IN YOUR SURGERY * TIPS FOR YOUR DOCTOR'S VISIT * INFORMATION FOR LIVING ORGAN DONORS * FIVE THINGS YOU CAN DO TO PREVENT INFECTION * HELP AVOID MISTAKES WITH YOUR MEDICINE * WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT RESEARCH STUDIES * PLANNING YOUR FOLLOW-UP CARE * HELP PREVENT MEDICAL TEST MISTAKES * KNOW YOUR RIGHTS * UNDERSTANDING YOUR DOCTORS AND OTHER CAREGIVERS * PREVENT ERROR'S IN YOUR CHILD'S CARE * WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT PAIN MANAGEMENT * REDUCE YOUR RISK OF FALLING * DIALYSIS - FIVE WAYS TO BE ACTIVE IN YOUR CARE AT THE HOSPITAL * DIABETES - FIVE WAYS TO BE ACTIVE IN YOUR CARE AT THE HOSPITAL * WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BREASTFEEDING * WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT STROKE * WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MEMORY PROBLEMS & DEMENTIA * WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ADULT DEPRESSION * ASK YOUR ADVOCATE TO SPEAK UP * SPEAK UP: AT HOME; KID POWER, & AT THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE * WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR SERIOUS ILLNESS & PALLIATIVE CARE SPEAK UP BROCHURES ARE AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC AT NO COST ON THE JOINT COMMISSION'S WEBSITE. THE JOINT COMMISSION HAS ALSO DEVELOPED A SERIES OF ANIMATED SPEAK UP VIDEOS TO ENCOURAGE PATIENTS TO SPEAK UP AND BE ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS IN THEIR HEALTH CARE. PRODUCED BY THE JOINT COMMISSION, THESE ENTERTAINING 60-SECOND VIDEOS ARE INTENDED AS PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS AND AIR ON THE JOINT COMMISSION'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL, ON THE JOINT COMMISSION WEBSITE, AND IN OTHER VENUES. THE CAST OF CHARACTERS INTRODUCED IN THE VIDEOS ENCOUNTER EVERYDAY SITUATIONS WHERE THEY HAVE TO READ INSTRUCTIONS, INSPECT LABELS, AND "SPEAK UP" TO ASK THEIR DOCTORS AND CAREGIVERS QUESTIONS. THE VIDEOS POINT OUT THAT YOU SHOULD BE JUST AS COMFORTABLE SPEAKING UP ABOUT YOUR HEALTH CARE WHETHER IN A DOCTOR'S OFFICE OR AT THE HOSPITAL. THE VIDEOS HAVE PROVEN TO BE WIDELY POPULAR WITH AUDIENCES ALL OVER THE WORLD, AND HAVE BEEN DOWNLOADED BY ORGANIZATIONS IN MORE THAN 35 COUNTRIES. |
