Compliance News: Measures of Success and Scoring Category Changes

By Dean Samet, CHSP


According to the April 28, 2010 Joint Commission Online, a number of Measures of Success (MOS) requirements have been deleted effective April 26, 2010 and several Elements of Performance (EPs) will change from a “C” to an “A” scoring category effective July 1, 2010. Compliance with affected Elements of Performance is still expected. If your organization is currently completing the MOS data submission for the affected EPs based on your last survey, go to The Joint Commission Connect extranet and enter “MOS requirement removed” in the text box and submit.

Before showing the recent changes, let’s review the particulars of what an MOS is and what the scoring categories are.
