Pennie 26 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 From JCAHO Joint Commission restructures EM guidelines The Joint Commission, formerly known as JCAHO, this week tweaked its emergency management guidelines, urging nursing homes and other healthcare settings to test their emergency response systems. Of special consideration, said the JC, is a facility's ability to adequately handle a crisis when the local community is unable to assist. The Joint's new standards take effect January 1, 2008.
