Note:  (11/7/08) Per the November 2008 issue of The Joint Commission Perspectives, the applicability grids in the 2009 CAMHC are incorrect for hospice and home medical equipment (HME).
 
To view the accurate applicability grids for hospice and HME, please view each requirement chapter listed below. The files posted on this site contain the correct applicability information.

Note:  The Home Care chapters will remain on this site until the March 2009 update publishes.
