In this episode of Between the Lines with FGI, cohosts John Williams and Marissa Lamperis Kastrinos are joined by ASHE's Leah Hummel and Chad Beebe for a conversation recorded live at HFIC. The discussion focuses on the Joint Commission's upcoming consolidation of standards, set to take effect in 2026, and what these changes mean for health care facilities. Leah and Chad explain the addition of the new National Performance Goals chapter, the Commission's unique ability to respond quickly to critical safety concerns, and how high-profile incidents can influence survey priorities. They also introduce ASHE's new survey readiness course, which aligns current and future Joint Commission standards with NFPA, CMS, and other accrediting body requirements.
