In the Joint Commission accreditation process, we evaluate organizational compliance to performance standards designed to improve quality and safety for those they serve. We measure compliance with our own standards, as well as relevant standards from CMS and OSHA. Our survey time together includes both an objective evaluation of standards compliance along with strategies and structures for improvement.

Joint Commission standards are patient centric and focus on organizational systems and processes essential to the delivery of safe, high-quality care. Standards are informed by evidence associated with structures and processes predictive of better care. They include patient rights and education, infection control, medication management, and preventing medical errors.
