Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 122 / Friday, June 26, 2009 / Notices
Commission’s request for continued
deeming authority for hospitals. This
notice also solicits public comment on
whether the Joint Commission’s
requirements meet or exceed the
Medicare conditions for participation
for hospitals.
III. Evaluation of Deeming Authority
Request
The Joint Commission submitted all
the necessary materials to enable us to
make a determination concerning its
request for reapproval as a deeming
organization for hospitals. This
application was determined to be
complete on May 1, 2009. Under section
1865(a)(2) of the Act and our regulations
at § 488.8 (Federal review of accrediting
organizations), our review and
evaluation of the Joint Commission will
be conducted in accordance with, but
not necessarily limited to, the following
factors:
• The equivalency of the Joint
Commission’s standards for a hospital
as compared with CMS’ hospital
conditions of participation.
• The Joint Commission’s survey
process to determine the following:
—The composition of the survey team,
surveyor qualifications, and the
ability of the organization to provide
continuing surveyor training.
—The comparability of the Joint
Commission’s processes to those of
State agencies, including survey
frequency, and the ability to
investigate and respond appropriately
to complaints against accredited
facilities.
—The Joint Commission’s processes and
procedures for monitoring hospitals
found out of compliance with the
Joint Commission’s program
requirements. These monitoring
procedures are used only when the
Joint Commission identifies
noncompliance. If noncompliance is
identified through validation reviews,
the State survey agency monitors
corrections as specified at § 488.7(d).
—The Joint Commission’s capacity to
report deficiencies to the surveyed
facilities and respond to the facility’s
plan of correction in a timely manner.
—The Joint Commission’s capacity to
provide us with electronic data and
reports necessary for effective
validation and assessment of the
organization’s survey process.
—The adequacy of the Joint
Commission’s staff and other
resources, and its financial viability.
—The Joint Commission’s capacity to
adequately fund required surveys.
—The Joint Commission’s policies with
respect to whether surveys are

announced or unannounced, to assure
that surveys are unannounced.
—The Joint Commission’s agreement to
provide us with a copy of the most
current accreditation survey together
with any other information related to
the survey as we may require
(including corrective action plans).
IV. Response to Public Comments and
Notice Upon Completion of Evaluation
Because of the large number of public
comments we normally receive on
Federal Register documents, we are not
able to acknowledge or respond to them
individually. We will consider all
comments we receive by the date and
time specified in the DATES section of
this preamble, and, when we proceed
with a subsequent document, we will
respond to the comments in the
preamble to that document.
Upon completion of our evaluation,
including evaluation of comments
received as a result of this notice, we
will publish a final notice in the Federal
Register announcing the result of our
evaluation.
V. Collection of Information
Requirements
This document does not impose
information collection and
recordkeeping requirements.
Consequently, it need not be reviewed
by the Office of Management and
Budget under the authority of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 35).
