Joint Commission seeking volunteers to pilot test CAH performance measures

The Joint Commission is looking for Critical Access Hospitals (CAH) to pilot test the draft CAH performance measures. Participating hospitals will be asked to implement data collection and reporting of measures and provide feedback.

Registration to volunteer as a pilot test site will remain open through October 31, 2012. Data collection will occur for patients discharged November 1, 2012 through April 30, 2013. Pilot sites must be capable of collecting both inpatient and outpatient emergency department data for ten draft measures.
