Joint Commission Water Management Programs

Joint Commission Aligned Water Management Programs

The Joint Commission updated Water Management Program standards effective January 2022. The requirements include a review of the Environment of Care Chapter EC.02.05.02 and elements of performance along with verification, validation, and program documentation. Joint Commission surveyors will be looking for additional requirements and evidence in relation to water management programs for hospitals, critical access hospitals and nursing care centers. Increased focus has moved from a risk assessment process to written documentation and follow through on your water management program.

Joint Commission Survey Readiness

The new elements of performance require that an individual or team be responsible for the oversight and implementation of the water management program, including but not limited to:

1) Development

2) Management

3) Maintenance Activities

The water management program must include a basic diagram that maps water supply sources, treatment systems, processing steps, control measures, and end-use points.
