Joint Commission revises licensed practitioner evaluation timeframes
Effective immediately, The Joint Commission revised its requirements regarding the timeframe to evaluate a licensed practitioner’s ability to provide care, treatment, and services from two years to three years, unless law and regulation require a shorter period. This change was made to better align with the standard practice of evaluating licensed practitioners every three years.
These revisions apply to the following accreditation programs:
- Hospital
- Critical Access Hospital
- Ambulatory Health Care
- Behavioral Health Care and Human Services
- Nursing Care Centers
- Office-Based Surgery
