What is the Joint Commission?
The Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations – often abbreviated as JCAHO or shortened to the Joint Commission – is a not-for-profit organization responsible for the certification of thousands of healthcare organizations in the United States. It is the oldest and most respected accrediting body in the healthcare field. Attaining this accreditation means that a facility has met a stringent set of performance standards.

- Assessment
- Evidence-based treatment
- Patient care
- Leadership
- Consumer rights
- Environment of care
- Medication safety
- Continuing education
- Case management
- Services
