Antimicrobial Stewardship – Education Requirements for Staff and Licensed Independent Practitioners - Standard MM.09.01.01 EP 2
Modify | January 13, 2017
Will Joint Commission surveyors review human resource records and medical staff credentialing and privileging records to determine if antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial stewardship education was provided by the organization?
Joint Commission surveyors will not be reviewing staff or medical staff/licensed independent practitioner records on education received regarding antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial stewardship. Joint Commission surveyors will inquire about the type of education provided by the organization during the Medication Management System Tracer (or other system tracers). During patient tracers, surveyors may ask staff and licensed independent practitioners about the education they have received. Providing written material such as the organization’s antibiogram will meet the educational requirement of MM.09.01.01, EP 2.
