WikiHealthCare™ and standards development

Any health care professional can collaborate to develop the standards and requirements for the Health Care Certification Program through The Joint Commission’s WikiHealthCare™ application.  Participants can engage in discussions about emerging issues pertaining to different types of health care services in a variety of settings, help determine how standards might be applied to address those settings, and suggest the performance requirements that should be used to measure compliance with those standards.
