Joint Commission New and Revised Requirements for Infection Prevention and Control Webinar

TheJointCommission (May 24, 2024) – Effective July 1, 2024, The Joint Commission approved new and revised requirements for the "Infection Prevention and Control" chapter for Critical Access Hospitals and hospitals accredited by The Joint Commission. The IC chapter has been fully rewritten and replaces the current IC chapter for both accreditation programs. The revised chapter focuses on the structures supporting quality and safety.

The Joint Commission is offering a free on-demand webinar to introduce the new and revised requirements for the "Infection Prevention and Control" chapter for CAHs and hospitals accredited by The Joint Commission. The webinar will offer practical examples of how the requirements apply and highlight available resources, including a reference guide and a new infection prevention and control program assessment tool to assist organizations in meeting the requirements. The prepublication reference guide is available from the Joint Commission.

This on-demand webinar offers one CE credit or ACHE-qualifying education hour. To complete the activity, participants must view the recorded content, complete a short reading activity and complete the CE survey and attestation by June 18, 2024. There is no fee to attend this webinar, and there is no limit on the number of a facility's staff who can attend.
