Contained within the Standards are primary categories of HCIRs and business partners including articulation of the credentialing requirements for each. To clarify, there are additional business partners, e.g. contract labor, agencies providing post-acute care, etc. that do not fall within the Joint Commission definition of an HCIR and whose access may not be actively managed within the HCOs oversight processes.
