UPtime is the new podcast from DOTmed HealthCare Business News, where we talk to experts about the key issues impacting the medical equipment industry.
In this episode, host Keri Stephens sits down with Matt Baretich for a timely conversation about Joint Commission updates set to take effect on January 1st. This discussion sheds light on what HTM teams need to know to navigate these changes effectively.
Stay up to date with the latest training to fix, troubleshoot, and maintain your critical care devices. GE HealthCare offers multiple training formats to empower teams and expand knowledge, saving you time and money.
Baretich describes the increased alignment between the Joint Commission and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). This alignment means that hospital accreditation standards will closely mirror CMS regulations, which has significant implications for HTM professionals.
We hope you enjoy the conversation.
Please tell us what you think, and let us know who you would like to see interviewed next.
I'd love to hear how you're planning for the forthcoming changes. If you're having a TJC survey in the first half of 2026, please share your experience with the HTM community!
