Certification Options
At The Joint Commission, we offer various certifications to help organizations go beyond accreditation to fulfill state mandates, achieve payer reimbursement and improve quality. Depending on the certification you wish to obtain, your hospital may need to achieve accreditation through the Hospital Accreditation Program before being able to become certified.
Certification can help hospitals to standardize care processes, reduce variation and risk, and ultimately provide consistent, safe, high quality care. There are many types of certifications for various clinical specialties such as stroke, cardiac, and orthopedic.
