Webinar  
Thursday, June 25, 2026 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM   iCalendar Eastern Standard Time

Regulatory standards serve as a critical strategy for ensuring consistent, high-quality care delivery and equitable access across healthcare settings. They establish clear expectations, promote accountability, and align organizations around evidence-based practices that improve patient outcomes. This webinar will feature speakers representing the Joint Commission (TJC), who will provide an overview of new and revised Joint Commission standards related to obstetric (OB) services. Participants will gain insight into the structure and scope of OB surveys, including how care delivery is evaluated across departments such as emergency, anesthesia, and surgical services. 
 

The session will highlight key sources of evidence surveyors use to assess compliance, emphasizing not only the presence of policies but their consistent
execution in practice. Presenters will share emerging trends and common challenges identified during surveys nationwide, along with strategies to
strengthen maternal health performance improvement through interdisciplinary collaboration and integration of patient and family perspectives.
