Chicago Medicine Magazine highlights Joint Commission’s Telehealth Accreditation
The July 2024 issue of Chicago Medicine Magazine features an article about The Joint Commission’s Telehealth Accreditation program, which is effective July 1, 2024. The program is intended for hospitals, ambulatory care, and behavioral healthcare organizations that exclusively provide care, treatment and services via telehealth, or have written agreements in place to provide care, treatment and services via telehealth to another organization’s patients.
As the use of telehealth has rapidly expanded into new healthcare settings and specialties, The Joint Commission identified the need to create a new accreditation program to address the structures and processes necessary to provide safe, high-quality care, treatment, and services using a telehealth platform.
