Rural Health Clinic Accreditation
The Joint Commission began exploring this new accreditation program to extend our consistent quality framework to outpatient care delivery and align with rural health and health equity initiatives. Our requirements are a practical, industry-vetted framework to help you minimize risk and boost consistency in how care and services are delivered.
Our standards focus on key operational areas that most impact the safety and quality of health care services, such as:
- Staff competency
- Patient assessment
- Medication management
- Infection control
Achieving accreditation is a visible demonstration to patients and the community that your organization provides the highest quality services.
