Introducing new functionality on the Direct Data Submission Platform

Beginning with CY2023 chart-abstracted measure data, The Joint Commission has implemented a resubmission capability on the Direct Data Submission Platform (DDSP) that allows organizations to resubmit incorrectly entered or incorrectly omitted measure data so feedback/public reporting is accurate and reflective of the organization’s performance.

Additionally:

• Resubmission of data allows The Joint Commission to use the most complete and accurate data possible in our analysis of the performance measures provided by a healthcare organization. This includes ensuring we calculate the most accurate comparative rates (e.g., national, state).
• Organizations may share their performance measurement data Joint Commission Dashboard Reports with other entities that desire performance measurement data. Therefore, allowing resubmission of data offers the opportunity for healthcare organizations to ensure their data is as complete and accurate as possible.

The Joint Commission believes that performance measures are essential to the credibility of any health care organization, and as such, includes submission of performance measurement data as a condition of participation for accreditation with The Joint Commission.
