The Joint Commission is developing new requirements for the Hospital and Critical Access Hospital accreditation programs. The new elements of performance (EPs) will be added to the Provision of Care, Treatment, and Services (PC) chapter and will only apply to hospitals and critical access hospitals that provide obstetric services, specifically labor and delivery. These requirements are being developed to further promote patient safety and quality of care of the mother and newborn upon arrival and admission to labor and delivery and align with current recommendations from scientific, professional, and governmental organizations.
We are seeking input from the field on the proposed new EPs to the (PC) chapter. Please review the proposed requirements, and then provide comments using one of the methods listed below.
