Joint Commission Accreditation

We believe all people should experience safe, high quality, and consistently excellent health care.

Joint Commission accreditation is the objective evaluation process of organizational compliance to performance standards designed to inspire and improve quality and safety for those they serve.

Within the Joint Commission accreditation process we survey to all standards, including those relevant from CMS and OSHA as well as our own. Our survey time together includes both an objective evaluation of standards compliance along with strategies and structures for improvement. Surveys are generally conducted every three years, however some settings including laboratories are surveyed every two years. Learn more about where standards come from and the survey experience.

After earning their accreditation award, health care organizations are eligible to display The Gold Seal of Approval®, a widely recognized symbol of quality and patient safety.

As the leader in standards development promoting quality and safety in health care organizations, The Joint Commission is currently the nation's largest and only accreditor that reaches across the full continuum of care.
