The Joint Commission’s upheaval of the environment of care and the shifting landscape of the 2009 standards has hospitals bracing for the impact on their organizations after January 1st. Not only will the time frames for submitting clarifications be reduced under the new changes, the new safety goals are expansive and confusing.
