Joint Commission

Accreditation presents a reliable perspective on an

organization's ability to provide quality healthcare

while meeting certain performance standards. These

standards reflect the consensus of healthcare

professionals across the country as to what they agree is

most conducive to providing quality care in today's

society. Achieving accreditation means that an

organization substantially complies with Joint Commission

standards and continuously makes efforts to improve the

care and services it provides.
