Intracycle Monitoring (Heads Up!) In the Nov 11, 2011 issue of Joint Commission Online, TJC announced a 4-month pilot of the new Intracycle Monitoring Process (IMP) that  will begin in February.  Once it is fully implemented in January 2013, IMP will include ‘Touch Points’ at 12 and 24 months (post survey) and a Focused Standards Assessment (FSA) tool, which will replace the Periodic Performance Review (PPR) tool.  During Touch Points, TJC may also engage organizations in more focused reviews of previously cited RFIs, program-specific risks, measurement data, and selected documents along with a discussion of TJC compliance tools that might be useful for your particular organization.  What do you think this means and how will you/your facility perpare?
