What is the periodic performance review?
The periodic performance review (PPR) is a new form of evaluation that is conducted by the organization and focuses on patient safety and quality of care issues. The organization self-evaluates its compliance with all Accreditation Participation Requirements, standards and Elements of Performance (scoreable requirements) that are applicable to the services that the organization provides, and develops a Plan of Action for all areas of performance identified as needing improvement. The Joint Commission will work with the organization to refine its Plan of Action to assure that its corrective efforts are on target. The organization will also identify Measures of Success (MOS) for validating resolution of the identified problem areas.
