Minimum Information for Ambulatory Health CareThe introduction of new Joint Commission requirements for the transfer of health information will take a stepped approach, moving the field toward the long term goal of efficient communication of health information, while seeking to avoid any unintended negative consequences. Defining the minimum amount of information required in the course of transferring a patient from an ambulatory heath care facility to another care provider or practitioner is essential. The data set should consist of a generic set of items, as well as items specific to the long-term care setting.
Further down on this page, you will see a link to resources related to this topic as well as performance requirements that may be applicable to the ambulatory health care setting. Feel free to upload additional materials that would further help The Joint Commission to establish a core set of requirements in this area. This may include media articles, forms used within your organization, or anything else pertaining to the transfer of health information. Also, feel free to edit the existing performance requirements that are listed below, or add new ones you feel should be considered by The Joint Commission. Remember, performance requirements are objective and measurable descriptions of an action, outcome, or observable behavior.
