The Joint Commission

Established more than 50 years ago, The Joint Commission is an independent, not-for-profit organization governed by a board of directors consisting of physicians, nurses and consumers. The Joint Commission sets the standards by which health care quality is measured in the United States and around the world.
The Joint Commission evaluates the quality and safety of care for more than 15,000 health care organizations. To maintain and earn accreditation, organizations must have an extensive on-site review by a team of health care professionals at least once every three years. The purpose of the review is to evaluate the organization's performance in areas that affect patient care. Accreditation may then be awarded based on how well the organizations met standards.
