In today's environment,
standardized, disease-specific care programs
help organizations build confidence and validation
in their ability to provide safe patient care.
Achieving Joint Commission certification creates a framework
to help organizations reduce variation and risk
and improve clinical performance.
The Joint Commission offers many cardiac and stroke certifications,
in collaboration with the American Heart Association
and American Stroke Association;
orthopedic certifications,
in collaboration with the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons;
and perinatal care certification offered in collaboration
with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
Plus, many more.
If this is your first time pursuing certification,
a member of our Business Development team
can help,
from determining eligibility to completing the application process.

To achieve certification, it's important to ensure
your organization's program meets Joint Commission standards
and clinical performance guidelines for targeted metrics,
allowing you to reach your patient care goals.
Once these factors have been determined, it is time to assemble your team.
Appointing team leaders in your organization
who are subject matter experts
is key to review readiness.
They will take on a variety of responsibilities,
from establishing ongoing assessments
to providing guidance for implementing best practices.
Team leaders will also develop a framework
for tracking self-assessment findings,
establishing activities for compliance and follow-up
and more.
Mock tracers are another very effective activity.
Front-line staff are the most proficient at running mock tracers
to identify challenging areas in the organization.
Planning and preparing a mock tracer
includes identifying and prioritizing topics,
targeting challenging standards,
assessing past review results,
and determining the scope of each mock tracer.
After performing a tracer,
the next steps are to gather, report, and debrief:
What went well?
What didn't?
How will issues be addressed?
What processes are required to meet the standard?
Achieving certification is important,
and we are here to help you throughout the entire process.
Your account executive will become your primary go-to person,
once you start the certification process.
Your AE will help coordinate review planning
and facilitate inquiries throughout the certification cycle
before, during, and after review.
Whether you are just starting your journey
or looking for guidance,
you'll have plenty of ongoing support to reach your goals.
