Summary of Measures & Performance Measurement with The Joint Commission
In early 1999, the Joint Commission solicited input from a wide variety of stakeholders, including clinical professionals, health care provider organizations, state hospital associations, and health care consumers, convening an Advisory Panel about potential focus areas for performance measures. In May 2001, the Joint Commission announced four initial core measurement areas for hospitals.
Measures that meet all four criteria may be used for purposes of accountability (e.g., for accreditation, public reporting, or pay-for-performance). Measures that have not been designated as accountability measures may be useful for quality improvement, exploration and learning within individual health care organizations, and are good advice in terms of appropriate patient care. The Joint Commission has a primary focus on adopting accountability measures for its ORYX® program.
