body making the request, describing the
nature of the request, and providing at
least a 30-day public comment period.
We have 210 days from the receipt of a
complete application to publish notice
of approval or denial of the application.
The purpose of this notice is to inform
the public of TJC’s request for continued
approval of its CAH accreditation
program. This notice also solicits public
comment on whether the TJC’s
requirements meet or exceed the
Medicare conditions of participation
(CoPs) for CAHs.

III. Evaluation of Deeming Authority
Request
TJC submitted all the necessary
materials to enable us to make a
determination concerning its request for
continued CMS approval of its CAH
accreditation program. This application
was determined to be complete on
January 26, 2023. Under 1865(a)(2) of
the Act and our regulations at § 488.5
(Application and re-application
procedures for national AO), our review
and evaluation of the TJC will be
conducted in accordance with, but not
necessarily limited to, the following
factors:
• The equivalency of the TJC’s
standards for CAHs and hospitals as
compared with CMS’ CAH and hospital
CoPs.
• TJC’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 TJC’s
processes to those of state agencies,
including survey frequency, and the
ability to investigate and respond
appropriately to complaints against
accredited facilities.
++ TJC’s processes and procedures
for monitoring a CAH found out of
compliance with TJC’s program
requirements. These monitoring
procedures are used only when the TJC
identifies noncompliance. If
noncompliance is identified through
validation reviews or complaint
surveys, the state survey agency
monitors corrections as specified at
§ 488.9.
++ TJC’s capacity to report
deficiencies to the surveyed facilities
and respond to the facility’s plan of
correction in a timely manner.
++ TJC’s capacity to provide CMS
with electronic data and reports
necessary for effective validation and
assessment of the organization’s survey
process.

++ The adequacy of the TJC’s staff
and other resources, and its financial
viability.
++ TJC’s capacity to adequately fund
required surveys.
++ TJC’s policies with respect to
whether surveys are announced or
unannounced, to assure that surveys are
unannounced.
++ TJC’s policies and procedures to
avoid conflicts of interest, including the
appearance of conflicts of interest,
involving individuals who conduct
surveys or participate in accreditation
decisions.
++ TJC’s agreement to provide CMS
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).
