by David Stymiest, PE, CHFM, CHSP, FASHE
Users of The Joint Commission’s (TJC’s) 2012 "Update 2" and 2013 accreditation manuals found a new RISK ICON "R" in selected elements of performance. According to TJC in its September 26, 2012 Joint Commission Online edition, This new icon is related to TJC’s "Replacement of the Periodic Performance Review (PPR) with the Focused Standards Assessment (FSA)" and the "new risk icons denote elements of performance (EPs) assessed through the FSA process, applicable to all except the long term care program." A more comprehensive discussion occurred in TJC’s October 2012 Perspectives.
