Joint Commission International (JCI)

In 1951, the health sector's first accrediting body the Joint Commission on Hospital Accreditation (JCAH) was established with the participation of the American College of Surgeons, the American College of Physicians, the American Hospital Association, the American Medical Association and the Canadian Medical Association.

In 1987 after developing accreditation programs for health institutions other than hospitals, the Hospital Commission was renamed the "Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Institutions" (JCAHO).

The Joint Commission International (JCI) established for International Accreditation Services is a unit of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) a non-profit organization focused on promoting the quality and safety of health services.

As the international branch of the Joint Commission, JCI has worked alongside health institutions, ministries of health and global organizations in 80 countries since 1994. JCI focuses on improving the safety of patient care through accreditation and certification services. The Joint Commission International is a world-renowned panel on healthcare quality and patient safety. JCI auditors are well-trained clinicians who advocate for patient safety. Infection control, drug safety, patient care and treatment, patient assessment and facility safety, and improving healthcare quality and patient safety are their focus areas. JCI Standards are developed by healthcare professionals from around the world and tested around the world. JCI accreditation decisions are made by an international panel of healthcare service experts.

In June 2011, JCI was checked against its audit process, quality and standards and was accredited by the International Society for Quality in Healthcare (ISQua). Thus, the reliability of the JCI audit and accreditation process has been proven in the international arena. ISQua accreditation ensures that JCI standards and processes meet the highest essential standards for surveying healthcare organizations.
