Accreditation by reputable agencies ensures that healthcare institutions have the proper policies and procedures in place to establish a safe, efficient working environment while maximizing patient outcomes. As the global healthcare industry develops, many organizations are seeking to improve their standard of care and reputation by seeking such accreditation.
While there are numerous accreditation agencies, The Joint Commission (TJC) is the standard bearer for accreditation of healthcare institutions, having accredited over 21,000 institutions in the United States. TJC’s international branch, the Joint Commission International (JCI), is a rapidly expanding regulatory body, operating in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and South America.
Having directed TJC accredited hospitals, Aviva’s experts fully understand the rigorous requirements of TJC and similar organizations, adeptly guiding healthcare institutions through the accreditation process in a step-by-step manner.
