| Joint Commission suspends revised standard MS.1.20 implementation |
| The Joint Commission's Board of Commissioners agreed May 30 to suspend the implementation of revised standard MS.1.20. The revised standard, which has generated significant controversy in the past few months, was slated to take effect January 1, 2009.
The Joint Commission (formerly JCAHO) approved the revised standard MS.1.20 in June 2007. Shortly after, controversy surrounding the revisions spurred the accreditor to establish a task force to define and refine the standard's intent. The task force has since recommended the suspension of the revised standard MS.1.20 and will present its full report on the issue to The Joint Commission's Board of Commissioners in August. |
