Resubmission of data allows The Joint Commission to use the most complete and accurate data possible in our analysis of the patient care provided by an HCO. This includes:
Ensuring we calculate the most accurate comparative rates (e.g., national, state).
One HCO’s incorrect and/or missing data can impact how other organizations compare against TJC’s national and state rates
In the healthcare field, The Joint Commission is viewed as a leader in performance measurement. For this reason, Organizations may share their performance measurement data Joint Commission Dashboard Reports with other entities that desire performance measurement data will utilize Joint Commission Dashboard Reports when provided to them by the HCO. Therefore, allowing resubmission of data is a value-add to the HCOs that need offers the opportunity for HCOs to ensure their data is as complete and accurate as possible.

Note: The intent of resubmission is not to “extend” data submission deadlines for chart-abstracted measures. Organizations that consistentlyuse the resubmission functionality to submit data because of missed deadlines will be assessed for compliance to APR. 04.01.01.
