Hello! Welcome to this quick demo on Joint Commission's E-dition
for Assisted Living Community Accreditation.
E-dition is the electronic version of the accreditation standards manual
for Assisted Living Community Accreditation.
Organizations who would like to preview the standards
can request a 90-day free trial access to E-dition.
Simply go to our Joint Commission ALC web page
where you will find the link to request E-dition.
Once you request this process,
you will receive an email from Joint Commission Resources
with the subject heading "JCR Software License Confirmation."
Click on the Sign-in Page found in this email
and log in with your username and password.
If it's your first time logging in,
use the Forgot Password option to set up a password.
Once you're in Joint Commission Resources home page,
click on the Browse and Search EPs found beside the E-dition logo
to access the manual.
You'll know that you're in E-dition
when you see the Welcome To E-dition! page.
Let me show you that.
So here's the Welcome To E-dition! page,
and in this blue area here, you will find E-dition's navigation tree.
Click on the plus sign beside the Accreditation Requirements section
to display the areas or accreditation chapters
for which we will have standards.
Clicking a standard's chapter, say Infection Prevention and Control,
will display the standards table to the right.
You will find an overview of the standard's chapter,
as well as an outline of the chapter,
by expanding these sections here.
This table here is where you'll see listed
all the standards relating to infection control.
To the right of the standard statements,
you will see action buttons
that allow you to copy, email,
or print the standards to share with others.
When you click on this gray triangle beside the standard,
it will expand to display the Elements of Performance
for that standard.
Elements of Performance is a detailed description
of how you might show compliance to the standard.
To the right of the EP, you will see additional information,
such as whether the EP is new or if documentation is required,
as identified by this D icon.
Right on top of the standard's table, you will find print options,
as well as an option to expand or collapse your view.
There's a Help tab on the upper right-hand corner
where you can connect with our technical support.
Use the Logout option to end your session.
We hope this quick demo has given you an idea of E-dition
and will start exploring the Joint Commission standards
for achieving Assisted Living Accreditation.
Thanks so much.
