Joint Commission International Accreditation Standards for Hospitals,
6th Edition, provides the basis for accreditation of hospitals
throughout the world. Joint Commission International (JCI) standards
define the performance expectations, structures, and functions that must
be in place for a hospital to be accredited by JCI. The effective date
of the 6th Edition is 1 July 2017, which means all surveys that begin on
or after this date will be surveyed under the 6th Edition. The
standards are divided into two main sections: 1) patient-centered care
and 2) health care organization management. In addition, two chapters
are included for hospitals that meet eligibility criteria for academic
medical center accreditation these address additional requirements for
human subjects research and medical professional education. Each
standard includes an intent statement, which describes the rationale for
the standard, and measurable elements, which are the specific
requirements of the standard. In addition to the standards, an
introduction, the eligibility requirements, a summary of key
accreditation policies, a glossary, and an index are included.
