The Joint
Commission's
mission is to
continuously improve the safety and quality of care provided to the
public through the provision of health care accreditation and
related services that support performance improvement in health care
organizations. The
Joint Commission is an independent, not-for-profit organization,
established more than 50 years ago. Joint Commission is governed by
a board that includes physicians, nurses, and consumers. Joint
Commission sets the standards by which health care quality is
measured in America and around the world. The
Joint Commission evaluates and accredits more than 15,000
health care organizations and programs in the US. An independent, not-for-profit organization, the Joint Commission
is the nation's predominant standards-setting and accrediting body
in health care. Since 1951, the Joint Commission has maintained
state-of-the-art standards that focus on improving the quality and
safety of care provided by health care organizations. The Joint
Commission's comprehensive accreditation process evaluates an
organization's compliance with these standards and other
accreditation requirements.
