New Joint Commission requirement related to medication event reporting

Hi,

I'd like to know how other organizations comply (or planning to comply) with the new Joint Commission requirement in the Medication Management Chapter (effective 1/1/2026).

It states:
The hospital has a method (such as using established benchmarks for the size and scope of services provided by the hospital or studies on reporting rates published in peer-reviewed journals) by which to measure the effectiveness of its process for identifying and reporting medication errors and adverse drug reactions to the quality assessment and performance improvement program.

Thank you in advance.
