What is accreditation?
Joint Commission accreditation involves evaluating a health care organization's performance in areas that most affect patient health and safety. These areas are defined in Joint Commission standards. By achieving accreditation, a health care organization makes a commitment to follow Joint Commission standards, which provide the framework for safe, quality care.

What does KCI’s accreditation mean to you?
The Joint Commission evaluates and accredits nearly 15,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States. An independent, not-for-profit organization, the Joint Commission is the nation’s predominant standards-setting and accrediting body in health care. Since 1951, the Joint Commission has maintained state-of-the-art standards that focus on improving the quality and safety of care provided by health care organizations.
- The Joint Commission’s comprehensive accreditation process evaluates KCI’s compliance with these standards and other accreditation requirements.
- Joint Commission accreditation is recognized nationwide as a symbol of quality that reflects KCI’s commitment to meeting certain performance standards.
- To earn and maintain the Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval™, KCI must undergo an on-site survey by a Joint Commission survey team at least every three years.
