Description:
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.
