Both the Joint Commission and NFPA 99 are undergoing major efforts to rewrite their standards. Both share similar goals of improving clarity and ease of use. But how they get there is markedly different. The Joint Commission's Standards Improvement Initiative (SII) is focused on redesign of the scoring and decision processes with a goal towards simplification while NFPA's revision process is focused on modernizing its requirements to address issues of technology integration, environmental safety and control, and varying care delivery settings. ASHE's advocacy team will bring you the latest updates on the revision processes and driving forces behind the efforts.
