Automation, dashboards, & reports to better track & increase EOC compliance developed based on best practices gleaned from thousands of healthcare organizations.

The Joint Commission published recommendations for collecting information to monitor conditions in the environment. Changes to The Joint Commission accreditation processes in 2017 provide more guidelines on how organizations manage and document PM activities on equipment in their Environment of Care. EC.02.04.01 EP4, EC.02.04.03 EP2, EC.02.04.03 EP3 provide more guidance on expectations of completion rates, how grace periods affect completion rates, and how equipment that is in use or unable to be located affect an organizations completion rate.

We’ve made compliance easy with pre-built TMS tools including Procedures, Sub Procedures, Forms, Schedules (Inspections), and Reporting to ensure compliance with these applicable rules.

The Joint Commission PM compliance made easy in TMS.
