The purging of active files with the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) refers to the systematic review and removal of outdated or unnecessary patient records to maintain compliance with accreditation standards. This process ensures that healthcare organizations manage their documentation effectively while safeguarding patient privacy. Proper purging practices help organizations stay organized and prepared for JCAHO surveys, demonstrating adherence to record-keeping and data management protocols. Regular audits and adherence to retention schedules are vital in this process.
