FSI Delivers New Compliance Solution for 2026 Joint Commission Changes

Pittsburgh, PA – January 13, 2026 – FSI, healthcare’s leading computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), today announced the first compliance solution designed to help healthcare facilities and Health Technology Management (HTM) teams prepare for the Joint Commission’s sweeping accreditation updates that went into effect January 1, 2026. 

In June 2025, The Joint Commission unveiled major changes to its national accreditation standards, consolidating Environment of Care (EC) and Life Safety (LS) requirements and introducing a new Physical Environment (PE) structure aligned with CMS Conditions of Participation. While the underlying compliance work remains unchanged, the updates significantly alter how regulatory information must be organized and reported during surveys. 

FSI’s healthcare-specific focus uniquely positions the company to interpret regulatory changes, understand the real operational challenges customers face during transitions, and productize solutions that directly address them. The company’s new compliance solution is purpose-built for this shift—enabling healthcare organizations to adapt confidently without adding administrative burden.  

The Joint Commission didn’t change what healthcare organizations need to do — but it fundamentally changed how they must demonstrate compliance,” said Zachary Seely, CEO of FSI. “FSI is proud to be the only solution that aligns CMMS workflows to the new Physical Environment structure, so our customers can walk into 2026 surveys confident, prepared, and inspection-ready without adding complexity to their teams’ day-to-day work.” 

Key features of the solution include a new Joint Commission code library reflecting consolidated standards, centralized management of regulatory elements, enhanced procedure configuration with multi-code referencing, and expanded eBinder capabilities that clearly link documentation to applicable standards and asset categories. Existing customer configurations will be migrated where applicable to align with the new PE structure, minimizing disruption. 

Everything about this update was designed with our customers in mind,” said Mike Zimmer, Director of Customer Solutions at FSI. “Facilities and HTM teams told us they needed a clearer, more intuitive way to present compliance during surveys. By restructuring how standards, documentation, and assets are connected in the CMMS, we’re helping teams be survey-ready without adding reporting work or disrupting how they already operate.” 

By restructuring how compliance data is managed within the CMMS—rather than changing the work itself—FSI enables facilities teams to prepare for 2026 Joint Commission surveys while maintaining operational efficiency. 

Additional details on the Joint Commission updates and FSI’s approach are available in a recent FSI webinar recap and blog post.
