Joint Commission evaluates the quality and safety of care for more than 15,000 health care organizations. To maintain and earn accreditation, organizations must have an extensive on-site review by a team of Joint Commission health care professionals, at least once every three years. The purpose of the review is to evaluate the organization's performance in areas that affect your care. Accreditation may then be awarded based on how well the organizations met Joint Commission standards.
A list of Joint Commission accredited organizations and their survey results are posted in the Quality Check section of the Joint Commission website. You can also call Joint Commission's Customer Service Department directly at (630) 792-5800 for additional information.
