Joint Commission Standards

Joint Commission Standards are guidelines that healthcare organizations follow to ensure quality, safety, and effective patient care. They set rules for things like proper staff training, safe procedures, accurate recordkeeping, and a clean environment. These standards help hospitals and clinics operate consistently and focus on continuous improvement, so patients receive the best possible treatment in a safe setting. Compliance with these standards is often required for accreditation, which signifies a commitment to maintaining high healthcare quality.
