The Joint Commission is reviewing its requirements that go beyond the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ conditions of participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs to determine whether it should permanently retire some of them.
“During the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE), CMS put many requirements on hold,” the organization said. “As the PHE nears its end, CMS has been reviewing the waived requirements to determine whether some should be permanently retired. The Joint Commission will similarly address the necessity of our own unique requirements.”
