Editor's Note

The Joint Commission on February 7 announced that it is seeking comments on proposed revisions to its credentialing and privileging standards for contract services in Hospital, Critical Access Hospital, Ambulatory Health Care, Office-based Surgery, Nursing Care Center, and Behavioral Health Care accreditation programs.

The revisions clarify or consolidate existing requirements and develop a potential new element of performance (EP) that addresses credentialing and privileging requirements--EP 26--which was previously covered under a note to EP4.

For hospitals and critical access hospitals, a new EP 27 has been added on providing contracted organizations with practitioner performance data.

Comments will be accepted through March 21.
