International hospitals increasingly consider Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation a key benchmark for meeting universal quality standards in health care delivery. In fact, many payers now prefer facilities that hold third-party accreditation. As the international health care market becomes more competitive, JCI accreditation has emerged as an important differentiating factor. 

Johns Hopkins experts, who regularly perform as commissioners in JCAHO accreditations in the U.S., have assisted a number of international health care organizations with preparing for and obtaining JCI accreditation.

Our experienced commissioners perform assessments, provide planning assistance and guide the client through JCI requirements and the accreditation preparation process. This includes the following three steps, over a 12- to 18-month time frame:

• Education Program, Initial Assessment and Action Planning
• Technical Assistance and Implementation Planning
• Final Mock Survey and Action Planning

After successfully completing this accreditation, our partner institutions’ reputations increased significantly—and patient care was safer.
