About Joint Commission Accreditation

Joint Commission Accreditation is the equivalent of the Good Housekeeping “Seal of Approval” for medical centers. The Joint Commission evaluates the quality and safety of care provided by health care organizations. To earn and maintain accreditation, organizations must have an extensive on-site review by a team of Joint Commission health care professionals at least once every three years. The purpose of the review is to evaluate the organization's performance in areas that affect patient care. Accreditation is awarded based on how well the organization meets the Joint Commission standards.
