Joint Commission redesigns ESC form

Editor's Note

The Joint Commission announced on June 21 a redesign of its Evidence of Standards Compliance (ESC) form.

The form was redesigned to help organizations focus on describing the critical aspects of corrective actions they have taken to resolve Requirements for Improvement, and to help ensure sustainability of those actions.

The new form, which was rolled out for ambulatory care and psychiatric hospitals surveys in April, will be rolled out for all other accreditation and certification programs in July.
