The Facility Guidelines Institute kicks off the third season of its Between the Lines with FGI podcast with an exclusive look at what’s new with the Joint Commission.
Cohosts John Williams and Marissa Lamperis Kastrinos are joined by ASHE’s Leah Hummel and Chad Beebe for a conversation on upcoming consolidation of standards, set to take effect in 2026, and what these changes mean for healthcare facilities.
Hummel and Beebe explain the addition of the new National Performance Goals chapter, the Commission’s unique ability to respond quickly to critical safety concerns and how high-profile incidents can influence survey priorities. They also introduce ASHE’s new survey readiness course, which aligns current and future Joint Commission standards with NFPA, CMS and other accrediting body requirements.
