*APPLICABLE TO 3Q/4Q2024: FEMA Disaster Declaration Areas for Hurricanes Francine, Helene, and Milton:

The Joint Commission has preemptively applied extenuating circumstances (i.e. no ORYX data expected or required) for all organizations in the White House / FEMA Hurricane disaster declaration area (Disaster Information | http://FEMA.gov ) for Hurricanes Francine, Helene, and Milton. Any HCO within any county listed received an ECR for all eCQM/CAM data for 3Q and 4Q2024 (7/1/2024 to 12/31/2024).

• If your organization has been directly impacted by any of these events, no ECR form or notification to The Joint Commission is required for the specified time frame. If your facility needs to extend their exception into CY2025, please notify us via a platform support ticket or via email to HCOORYX@jointcommission.org .

•  The FEMA list was indicated by affected county. Because the disaster declaration areas are by county, some unaffected organizations may have received an extenuating circumstance where one was unnecessary. If your organization is within a designated area but not directly impacted by any of these events and are able to submit ORYX data, please submit a platform support ticket to request the ECR be removed.

•  Any affected organization within those designated areas can still submit data if they are able/willing to do so, even if an ECR is denoted on the DDSP. If you would like the ECR to be removed from the platform, please submit a platform support ticket to request the ECR be removed.

• If your organization was impacted by an event outside those listed above, please complete an extenuating circumstance request form: Extenuating Circumstances

 If you have any questions, please submit a support ticket via “Need Help?” button on the DDSP or e-mail hcooryx@jointcommission.org.
