Abstract:

The Joint Commission is required to demonstrate that its standards and elements of performance (EPs) are equivalent to the Conditions of Participation (CoPs) to maintain Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) deeming authority. As part of the ongoing process of ensuring this equivalency, The Joint Commission Board of Commissioners recently accepted a revision to “Environment of Care“ (EC) Standard EC.02.03.05 under existing EP 2 and added new EP 25 for hospitals that use Joint Commission accreditation for deemed status purposes. This article shows the text of the revisions and additions.
