Additional Details
Is your hospital using Joint Commission accreditation for deemed status with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS)? If so, are you ready for a CMS survey? The 2025 Joint Commission and CMS Crosswalk: Comparing Hospital Standards and CoPs is an authoritative, side-by-side comparison of CMS Conditions of Participation (CoPs) to equivalent Joint Commission standards as of January 1, 2025, for both hospitals and psychiatric hospitals. A reverse comparison, listing Joint Commission requirements with equivalent CoP numbers, shows equivalencies in the opposite direction.
The 2025 book features the following:
- • Information about deemed status and what that means for a hospital
- • Tips to maintain compliance without duplicating effort
The crosswalks in the guide can help hospital staff identify how policies and practices support one or more of TJC standards and demonstrate compliance with equivalent CMS regulations. Sidebars and tables provide additional information on Joint Commission accreditation for deemed status, CMS-related updates, and how both organizations survey for compliance. The crosswalks represent a point in time (Joint Commission standards effective January 1, 2019). The Federal Requirements have CoPs with supporting standards. The Joint Commission has standards with supporting elements of performance.
