Medical Staff Standard MS.01.01.01, formerly known as MS.1.20, is designed to contribute to patient safety and quality of care through the support of a well-functioning, positive relationship between a hospital’s medical staff and governing body. Revisions to this standard were approved in March of 2010. The revisions are based on the unanimous recommendations of an expert 18-member multidisciplinary task force convened by The Joint Commission.

Standard MS.01.01.01 recognizes that while a hospital’s governing body is ultimately responsible for the quality and safety of care, the governing body, medical staff, and administration must collaborate to achieve this goal and provide the framework for constructing, writing, and implementing medical staff bylaws.

Following the March 31, 2011 implementation date, all hospitals and critical access hospitals must be in full compliance with Medical Staff Standard MS.01.01.01.
