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. Head to http://www.jointcommission.org to see them, and to http://www.hcmarketplace.com to order your subscription to HCPro's Briefings on the Joint Commission, for more on the Joint Commission.
