6. Accreditation
JCI
Accreditation provides a visible commitment by an organization to
- Improve the safety and quality of patient care
- To ensure a safe care environment and
- To continually work to reduce risks to patients and staff
Accreditation has gained worldwide attention as an effective
quality evaluation and management tool.
7. What are the benefits of Accreditation
The accreditation process is designed to create a culture of safety and quality within an
organization that strives to continually improve patient care processes and results. In doing so,
organizations
• Improve public trust that the organization is concerned for patient safety and the quality of care;
• Provide a safe and efficient work environment that contributes to worker satisfaction;
• Negotiate with sources of payment for care with data on the quality of care;
• Listen to patients and their families, respect their rights, and involve them in the care process as
partners;
• Create a culture that is open to learning from the timely reporting of adverse events and safety
concerns; and
• Establish collaborative leadership that sets priorities for and continuous leadership for quality and
patient safety at all levels.

• Formerly the accreditation of home care
organizations was under the international care

• As the home care field grows with the aging of
populations in many countries it was time to

• JCI standards are truly international in their
development and revision. The process of
developing standards is actively overseen by an
expert international task force

JCI Standards are Optimal and
Achievable
•JCI Standards
•12 Chapters
•Statement of Standard
• Intent Statement
• Measurable Elements
Measures taken have to be in place for 4 months (1 year with
reaccreditation) - Accreditation is valid for 3 years
14. What are the “measurable elements” of a
standard?
• The measurable elements (MEs) of a standard are those requirements of
the standard and its intent statement that will be reviewed and assigned a
score during the accreditation survey process.
• The MEs simply list what is required to be in full compliance with the
standard.
• Each element is already reflected in the standard or intent statement.
• Listing the MEs is intended to provide greater clarity to the standards and
help organizations educate staff about the standards and prepare for the
accreditation survey.

15. Why was the care continuum manual retired and replaced
with the first edition of the home care manual?
• The JCI care continuum standards are designed to address the care of patients
with chronic diseases, those undergoing rehabilitation needs, and those at the
end of life.
• They are organized around providing care in a wide range of settings, from the
patient’s home to long term care facilities, to assisted living settings.
• Although the processes used in each setting may be somewhat similar, the
missions and services provided in each of these settings are different.
• Therefore, the decision was made to develop individual standards for each
setting, beginning with long term care and home care.
