Joint Commission Memo About New ORYX Requirements and Reporting Based on New Hospital-Based Inpatient Psychiatric Services Core Measure Set
July 20, 2010 The Joint Commission released a memo to inform psychiatric hospitals about new reporting requirements for seven quality measures for hospital-based inpatient psychiatric services (HBIPS). The measures cover the assessment process, the use of antipsychotic medications, seclusion and use of restraints, discharge planning, and aftercare. Free-standing psychiatric hospitals with an average daily census greater than 10 patients will be required to participate using a Joint Commission-listed vendor, and submit data to the Joint Commission on all applicable measures that comprise the HBIPS core data set.
