Introduction

National Programs:

JCAHO
 Mission: continuously improve the safety and quality of care provided to the public through the provision of health care accreditation and related services that support performance improvement in health care organizations

JCI.  

As the International division of Joint Commission Resources, Joint Commission International (JCI) has been working with health care organizations, ministries of health, and global organizations in over 80 countries since 1994.

 

Our focus is on improving the safety of patient care through the provision of accreditation and certification services as well as through advisory and educational services aimed at helping organizations implement practical and sustainable solutions.

 

In September 2007, JCI received accreditation by the International Society for Quality in Health Care (ISQua).  Accreditation by ISQua provides assurance that the standards, training and processes used by JCI to survey the performance of health care organizations meet the highest international benchmarks for accreditation entities

Certificate Commission for Health Information Technology  (CCHIT)

 

CCHIT Certified®, an independently developed certification that includes a rigorous inspection of an EHR’s integrated functionality, interoperability and security. Products that are CCHIT Certified® are tested against criteria developed by the Commission’s broadly representative, expert work groups. This program is intended to serve health care providers looking for greater assurance that a product will meet their complex needs.  As part of this independent evaluation, successful use is verified at live sites and product usability is rated. 

CCHIT has outlined five health outcome policy priorities areas and are:

  • Improve quality, safety, efficiency, and reduce health disparities

  • Engage patients and families

  • Improve care coordination

  • Improve population and public health

  • Ensure adequate privacy and security protection for personal health information

InHCc will pursue the Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT) Certification. At this time, there are requirements that have not been implemented in the system that deals directly with features that are only used in the US. All other feathers have been implemented.
