    2. Existing organizations that did not submit data for CY2022 or CY2023 need to accept their DDSP invitation and complete the onboarding process in order to enter data for CY2024. Contact hcooryx@jointcommission.org to request the invitation be resent.

  2. Effective CY2024 (1/1/2024) ORYX Performance Measurement Reporting via the DDSP is required for ALCs.
