JCAHO – Leading accreditation since 1951
Setting the Standard for Quality in Health Care
In health care, JCAHO is synonymous with quality, and has been for over 50 years. It is a name that symbolizes excellence, experience and professionalism. Health care providers, physicians, purchasers and consumers know that it is a name they can trust and respect. As an independent, not-for-profit organization, JCAHO has become a world leader in objectively evaluating and accrediting health care organizations. JCAHO has developed the industry’s highest standards for safe and high quality health care delivery. As health care delivery expands and changes, so does the Joint Commission.
Today, JCAHO accredits nearly 17,000 health care organizations nationwide, from small doctor’s office practices to the largest, most complex health care networks. The Joint Commission’s depth of experience and breadth of service are unmatched in the health care field. The Joint Commission’s reputation as a driving force for continuous quality improvement and performance measurement extends well beyond the health care provider community. Purchasers, insurers, legislators, regulators and consumers recognize that the Joint Commission sets the standard for quality in health care.
