The Joint Commission is now surveying deemed status home health agencies under new standards that align with the new Home Health Conditions of Participation, the accrediting body says on its website. And it has updates to the standards that take effect March 11. "Any additional changes based on CMS's continued review of The Joint Commission's standards will be published at a future release," the Joint Commission says. See the updated standards online at www.jointcommission.org/standards_information/prepublication_ standards.aspx.
