Process
If your hospital is considering accreditation with The Joint Commission, you no doubt have questions about the process and the survey itself. We’re here to help get your questions answered.
Process Steps
Curious what your path to hospital accreditation looks like? Here are some steps to guide you through the accreditation process.
The accreditation survey process begins with an on-site survey that assesses compliance with Joint Commission standards. Surveys are conducted by specially trained professionals who have experience in the hospital setting. This experience helps them understand the day-to-day issues that confront providers and the surveyor and the survey team share their expertise on how organizations can resolve them.
On-site surveys involve:
Tracing the patient’s experience, which involves observing services provided by various caregivers within the organization, as well as hand-offs between them
On-site observations and interviews
Assessment of the physical facility
Review of documents provided by the organization
