Approved: Revisions to EC chapter
Effective July 1, 2022, The Joint Commission has approved several revisions to the Environment of Care (EC) chapter for behavioral health and human services organizations.
The changes vary across accreditation programs and include the following:
- New and revised elements of performance (EPs) that clarify and/or strengthen expectations for accredited organizations as they relate to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes.
- Standard EC.02.03.05, EPs 7 and 8, were deleted for behavioral health and human services organizations because most organizations no longer have water storage tanks.
