Achieving International Global Standards in Hospitals & Healthcare Quality and Patient Safety.
The Joint Commission International (JCI) is a globally recognized organization that sets international standards of quality and patient safety for Hospitals & healthcare organizations. JCI is the international division of The Joint Commission (USA), and its accreditation is considered the gold standard for hospitals worldwide.
In India, JCI accreditation complements NABH accreditation, as both are based on similar principles of quality, safety, and continuous improvement, under the framework of the Quality Council of India (QCI).
JCI Accreditation is a comprehensive evaluation process that assesses whether a healthcare organization meets international Hospital quality and safety standards for healthcare. It focuses on improving patient care outcomes, minimizing risks, and ensuring ethical and effective healthcare delivery.
A JCI-accredited hospital demonstrates its commitment to world-wide excellence in patient care and organizational management.
To establish a culture of continuous quality improvement.
To ensure safe, effective, and patient-centered care.
To align hospital operations with international best practices.
To strengthen governance, leadership, and accountability.
To promote clinical excellence and risk management.
Enhances the organization’s international reputation for quality care.
Encourages the use of evidence-based protocols, reducing medical errors.
Standards align with NABH, WHO, and ISQua principles.
Continuous training, performance evaluation, and adherence to processes.
International patients prefer JCI-accredited hospitals for trusted care.
Standardized systems and efficient management across departments.
JCI standards are built around two major sections:
Evaluate current systems and compliance with JCI standards.
Preparation of manuals, SOPs, and operational guidelines.
Orientation and process execution for all hospital departments.
Identify gaps and corrective actions before JCI’s on-site survey.
Comprehensive on-site assessment by JCI surveyors.
Valid for 3 years with annual follow-up reviews.
Hospitals with NABH accreditation find it easier to transition to JCI because both share key principles:
| NABH Focus | JCI Focus | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Patient Safety & Quality | Global Best Practices | International Recognition |
| Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) | Continuous Compliance Monitoring | Sustained Excellence |
| Facility & Staff Management | Leadership & Organizational Direction | Systematic Performance |
| National Standards | International Benchmarks | Global Competitiveness |
