The Joint Commission has requirements for multiple accreditation programs that were initially approved by the Joint Commission's Board of Commissioners in January 1997.  These requirements relate to performance measurement activities and stipulate participation by accredited organizations in an acceptable performance measurement system.

A performance measurement system interested in participating in ORYX as a listed system will find relevant information on how to do so in this introductory packet of information.   If you are interested in becoming a Listed Performance Measurement System and would like to have additional information sent to you, please contact the Division of Quality Measurement and Research at oryxpms@jointcommission.org.

The following directories include both listed (Core and Non-Core Systems List) and candidate systems.  You will need Adobe Reader to view these files.  Listed systems are those systems considered acceptable for use to meet accreditation requirements. Candidate systems are systems that are not yet listed.
