| The Joint Commission has released prepublication standards on new and updated pain assessment and management requirements for hospitals. The accreditor said it used the revision to address disparities between its standards and what the literature recommended. |
| Briefings on Accreditation and Quality This April, CMS sent out a memo with big proposals for accrediting organizations (AO). If passed, The Joint Commission, DNV, HFAP, and others would have to post final survey reports online within 90 days of that information becoming available to the healthcare organization.
However, there are concerns that this move creates an uneven playing field in hospital quality and oversight. It’s also argued that the public might have trouble deciphering the contents of the report.
