What is ORYX?
ORYX is not an acronym; it’s The Joint Commission’s performance measurement and improvement initiative, which integrates outcomes and other performance measure data into the accreditation process.
The ORYX initiative became operational in March of 1999, when performance measurement systems began transmitting data to The Joint Commission on behalf of accredited hospitals. ORYX measurement requirements are intended to support Joint Commission accredited organizations in their quality improvement efforts.
