 Joint Commission International Accreditation
The Joint Commission is an independent, non-profit organization. The Joint Commission International (JCI) is a U.S- based, accreditation body dedicated to improving healthcare quality and safety around the world for over 50 years. The JCI is a subsidiary of Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), which is also a non-profit organization. The JCAHO is the largest and most recognized healthcare organization in the United States today. Although there are many accredited organizations, JCAHO is known to be the most respected, and these same polices are carried over to the JCI.
JCI works directly with healthcare organizations to achieve their goals of providing quality clinical care and services in safe, efficient and well-managed facilities. Joint Commission is governed by a board that includes physicians, nurses, and consumers that understand the level of quality care that needs to be received at each and every accredited organization.
To earn and maintain accreditation, the healthcare provider must have a demanding on-site review by a working team of experienced Joint Commission professionals that closely review the following:
- Access to health care
- Health assessment and care processes
- Education and Rights of Patients
- Management of information and human resources
- Safety of facility
- Infection control
- Collaborative integrated management
- Facility management
- Performance measurement
