Top Scored Measurable Elements (ME) for JCI's Accreditation Standards for Hospitals, 6th Edition
The April issue of JCInsight identified the top scored measurable elements for the Joint Commission
International Accreditation Standards for Hospitals and Academic Medical
Centers (AMC) 6th edition for surveys conducted in 2018. IPSG.1 ME1 “Patients
are identified using two patient identifiers, not including the use of the patient’s
room number and location in the hospital” was identified as the number ten
finding. The focus of this measurable element is ensuring reliable identification of
patients for whom a service or treatment is intended and secondly, to match the
service or treatment to that individual.
The hospital must define the two acceptable forms of identification to be used. These should not include the
patient’s room number or location in the hospital as these can change throughout their stay. The two forms of
identification used in the inpatient setting do not have to be the same as those used in the outpatient setting;
however, the process must be consistent for each setting as defined by the organization. Examples of
acceptable forms of identification include: date of birth, medical record number, name, a bar-coded wristband
or identification number.
