The Joint Commission enterprise is a global driver of quality improvement and patient safety in health care. Through leading practices, unmatched knowledge and expertise, and rigorous standards, we help organizations across the continuum of care lead the way to zero harm.

The Joint Commission Center for Transforming Healthcare helps health care institutions transform into high reliability organizations where zero harm is the norm. Our innovations have been used by thousands to dramatically reduce harm and save lives. Our mission is to transform health care into a high-reliability industry by developing highly effective, durable solutions to health care’s most critical safety and quality problems in collaboration with health care organizations, by disseminating the solutions widely, and by facilitating their adoption.

Joint Commission Resources helps health care organizations improve patient safety and quality of care with practical, effective solutions for success. Our mission is to continuously improve the safety and quality of health care through the provision of education, publications, consultation, and evaluation services.

Joint Commission International works to improve patient safety and quality of health care in the international community by offering education, publications, advisory services, and international accreditation and certification. In more than 100 countries, we partner with hospitals, clinics, and academic medical centers, health systems and agencies, government ministries, academia, and international advocates to promote rigorous standards of care and to provide solutions for achieving peak performance.

Joint Commission certification programs are designed to evaluate clinical programs across the continuum of care. Joint Commission accredited health care organizations may seek certification for care and services provided for virtually any chronic disease or condition. In addition, non-accredited organizations that provide disease-specific services can be eligible for certification if Joint Commission accreditation is not available for that specific clinical setting.
