Joint Commission Compliance

 The Joint Commission Environment of Care (EC) is the national gold standard focusing on the effectiveness and safety of medical equipment. It sets requirements for the management, maintenance and documentation of servicing healthcare equipment. Their standards are instrumental in the foundation of many CMS, laboratory, ambulatory and hospital credentialing guidelines.

Bio-Medtronics technicians can assist with PMs when the hospital biomed managers find their PMs are backing up because their house biomeds are too busy with critical and urgent equipment needs.

Our PM services document:

• Devices are in good working order,
• Equipment is properly serviced,
• Devices are regularly inspected,
• Records are maintained for 5 years.
• Devices are clearly labeled and dated.

 While suggested compliance with TJC is voluntary for non-accredited healthcare organizations, there are still local and federal regulations. Medical associations also impose quality control guidelines. 

Medicare and Medicaid providers must be able to demonstrate competency in quality assurance measures originally fostered by TJC guide books.
