The Joint commission, founded in 1951, is an independent not-for-profit organization that seeks to continuously improve health care for the public. The Joint Commission facilitates this goal by rigorously evaluating health care organizations and motivating them to exceed in providing safe and effective care of the highest quality and value. To earn and preserve The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval™, an organization must endure an on-site survey by a Joint Commission surveyor at least every three years.
The Joint Commission’s standards vary depending on the type of services the healthcare organization provides. As for Home Care, the standards include maintaining a high quality environment of care, upholding infection prevention and control practices, demonstrating life safety and trained medication management, as well as recording and revising care, treatment and services. Home care organizations must also manage emergency situations safely and effectively, facilitate training and staff development, and exude professional leadership. Right Accord passed the rigorous evaluation with flying colors!
