# On November 5, 2014, the '''Joint Commission''' had leaked an algorithm for the creation of new regulations, which Gomerblog made aware to the general public.<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2014/11/joint-commission-regulation/ Joint Commission Healthcare New Regulation Algorithm Leaked]</ref> Quick study of the evaluation realized several key components: avoid scientific evidence, impede patient care, encourage impracticality, and upset health care workers.
# On May 19, 2015, the '''Joint Commission''' shut down [[Doc McStuffins]] after an audit revealed a myriad of protocol and safety deficiencies, which include but are not limited to HIPAA violations, lack of an [[EHR]], lack of implementation of performance metrics, and child labor law violations.<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2015/05/mcstuffins-clinic/ Joint Commission Shuts Down McStuffins Clinic for Violations]</ref> This was a dark day for medicine, as the Joint Commission's powers proved to extend beyond the real world.
# On December 8, 2015, the '''Joint Commission''' pushed for a new television quality initiative after a patient leapt to his death when his TV was stuck on [[''The View'']], stating that "Nurses and doctors should know what channels are available and how to quickly address TV malfunctions, as well as providing documentation of the above competencies."<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2015/12/patient-the-view/ Patient Leaps to Death After Hospital TV Stuck on The View; Joint Commission Investigating]</ref> Medical personnel got behind the initiative. Except for the documentation part.
