The Joint Commission
For hospitals, the Joint Commission is the most critical quality-monitoring group. Formerly known as the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, it is an independent, not-for-profit organization established over 50 years ago. A board that includes physicians, nurses and consumers governs the commission. The Joint Commission evaluates the quality and safety of care for more than 15,000 healthcare organizations. To maintain and earn accreditation, organizations must have an extensive on-site review by a team of Joint Commission healthcare professionals at least once every three years.
A list of Joint Commission accredited organizations and their survey results are posted in the Quality Check section of the Joint Commission website or you can call the Joint Commission's Customer Service Department directly at
630-792-5800 for additional information.
