WHO IS JCI?
Joint Commission International (JCI) is one of the world’s leading nonprofit patient safety
organizations. JCI works with government ministries, public health agencies, health care
providers, academic institutions, and businesses to achieve the best patient care performance
at the organizations it accredits.
JCI accreditation is viewed as the gold standard in the global health care community. A health
care organization that has met JCI’s exacting standards can proudly display the Gold Seal of
Approval® as a sign of this distinctive accomplishment.
JCI regularly publishes a set of standards that represent the most current thinking in patient
safety and quality improvement. Health care organizations must fulfil these standards and
undergo a comprehensive and rigorous on-site survey conducted by JCI in order to achieve
accreditation. Once accredited, organizations must continue to meet updated standards and
are regularly assessed through periodic re-survey.
