The Joint Commission’s ORYX® initiative integrates performance measurement data into the accreditation process. ORYX® measurement requirements support Joint Commission accredited organizations in their quality improvement efforts.

For Assisted Living Communities (ALC), reporting of ORYX Performance Measure data to The Joint Commission is:

• Optional for CY2022 and/or CY2023 – organizations may elect to submit no measure data, some measure data, or all measure data

• Mandatory for all measures for all four quarters, effective 1/1/2024

See the Measurement section of the external Joint Commission website for more information on chart-abstracted measure reporting requirements for the Assisted Living Communities (ALC) program:

https://www.jointcommission.org/measurement/accreditation---alc/

Accredited Assisted Living Communities (ALC) will abstract standardized performance measures and enter their data into the Joint Commission’s Direct Data Submission Platform (DDSP) for accreditation purposes.

Chart-abstracted measure specifications for assisted living organizations are detailed in the Joint Commission’s Specification Manual for Joint Commission Assisted Living Community Quality Measures.
