The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations will conduct an unannounced accreditation survey.

The purpose of the survey will be to evaluate the organizations compliance with nationally established Joint Commission Standards.   The survey results will be used to determine whether, and the condition sunder which accreditation should awarded the organization.

Joint Commission standards deal with organizational quality of care issues and the safety of the environment in which care is provided.   Anyone believing that he or she has pertinent and valid information about such matters may request a public interview with th Joint Commission’s field representatives at the time of the survey.  Information presented at the interview will be carefully  evaluated for relevance to the accreditation process.   Request for public information interview must be made in writing and should be sent to the Joint Commission and must indicate the nature of the information to be provided at the interview. 

Such request should be made to:

Division of Accreditation Operations
Account Representative
Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations
One Renaissance Boulevard
Oakbrook Terrace, IL 60181

The Joint Commission will acknowledge such requests in writing or by telephone and will inform the organization of the request for any interview.   The organization will, in turn, notify the interviewee of the date, time, and place of the meeting.

This notice is posted in accordance with Joint Commission’s requirements and may not be removed before the survey is past.
