IN 2008, ALL JOINT COMMISSION ACCREDITED ORGANIZATIONS WERE PROVIDED A COMPLIMENTARY "E-DITION" LICENSE. THE E-DITION IS A WEB-BASED FULLY SEARCHABLE VERSION OF THE JOINT COMMISSION COMPREHENSIVE ACCREDITATION MANUAL.

JOINT COMMISSION INTERNATIONAL ACCREDITATION JCI STANDARDS AND EVALUATION METHODS ARE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE QUANTIFIABLE BENCHMARKS FOR PATIENT CARE QUALITY AND IMPROVEMENTS IN THE HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION. JCI STANDARDS AND EVALUATION METHODS WERE DESIGNED TO STIMULATE AND SUPPORT SUSTAINED QUALITY IMPROVEMENT AND TO PROVIDE A FRAMEWORK FOR RISK REDUCTION. THE STANDARDS WERE DEVELOPED AND ARE CONTINUOUSLY REVISED BY HEALTH CARE EXPERTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD. JCI PROVIDES INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS AND ACCREDITATION PROGRAMS FOR HOSPITALS, CLINICAL LABS, AMBULATORY CARE, CARE CONTINUUM, PRIMARY CARE, AND MEDICAL TRANSPORT ORGANIZATIONS. JCI ALSO PROVIDES DISEASE -SPECIFIC AND CLINICAL CARE PROGRAM CERTIFICATION IN PROGRAMS SUCH AS PRIMARY STROKE, HEART FAILURE, CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE, HIV/AIDS, ONCOLOGY CARE, PALLIATIVE CARE, AND DIABETES CARE. JCI IS ACCREDITED WORLDWIDE BY THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR QUALITY IN HEALTH CARE (ISQUA). ISQUA IS A NON-PROFIT, INDEPENDENT ORGANIZATION THAT ACCREDITS HEALTH CARE ACCREDITING BODIES. ACCREDITATION UNDER ISQUA'S INTERNATIONAL ACCREDITATION PROGRAM PROVIDES THE ASSURANCE THAT THE STANDARDS, TRAINING, AND PROCESSES USED TO SURVEY THE PERFORMANCE OF HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS BY JCI MEET THE HIGHEST INTERNATIONAL BENCHMARK. WORK WITH MINISTRIES OF HEALTH AS NATIONS AROUND THE WORLD SEEK TO RAISE STANDARDS FOR HEALTH CARE, JCI COLLABORATES WITH MINISTRIES OF HEALTH TO DEVELOP NATIONAL ACCREDITATION PROGRAMS. IN CHINA, TURKEY AND JORDAN, JCI HAS ASSISTED THE MINISTRIES WITH DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR OWN ACCREDITATION STANDARDS AND A SYSTEM TO EVALUATE COMPLIANCE. IN DUBAI HEALTHCARE CITY, JCI SERVES AS THE OFFICIAL ACCREDITATION AGENCY FOR THE GOVERNMENT, AND IN ITALY, JCI IS WORKING WITH REGIONAL HEALTH CARE BODIES ON SEVERAL PATIENT SAFETY INITIATIVES. (CONTINUED BELOW)
ORGANIZATION'S MISSION FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 (CONTINUATION FROM ABOVE) INTERNATIONAL ESSENTIALS OF HEALTH CARE QUALITY AT THE REQUEST OF SEVERAL MINISTRIES OF HEALTH, JCI DEVELOPED A NEW PROGRAM IN 2008 - THE INTERNATIONAL ESSENTIALS OF HEALTH CARE QUALITY AND PATIENT SAFETY - WHICH IS A QUALITY AND SAFETY ROADMAP DESIGNED TO HELP HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS IDENTIFY AND FOCUS ON THOSE AREAS THAT POSE THE GREATEST RISK TO PATIENT SAFETY. USE OF THE ROADMAP HELPS INDIVIDUAL HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS INCREMENTALLY BUILD QUALITY CAPACITY, AND HELPS MINISTRIES OF HEALTH EVALUATE QUALITY CAPACITY WITHIN THEIR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. IN ADDITION, THE PROGRAM CAN GIVE HEALTH CARE PURCHASERS AND INSURANCE COMPANIES THE DATA THEY NEED TO MAKE CHOICES THAT DIRECT PATIENTS TO LOWER-RISK HEALTH CARE SETTINGS. THE INTERNATIONAL ESSENTIALS OF HEALTH CARE QUALITY AND PATIENT SAFETY IS DIFFERENT FROM ACCREDITATION IN THAT IT FOCUSES ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF KEY PROCESSES THAT INFLUENCE CARE QUALITY AND SAFETY. ACCREDITATION EVALUATES THE ENTIRE ORGANIZATION INCLUDING PATIENT CARE AND MANAGEMENT PROCESSES. WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION COLLABORATING CENTRE FOR PATIENT SAFETY SOLUTIONS IN 2009, THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO) REDESIGNATED THE JOINT COMMISSION AND JOINT COMMISSION INTERNATIONAL AS THE WORLD'S FIST WHO COLLABORATING CENTRE DEDICATED TO PATIENT SAFETY SOLUTIONS. SINCE ITS LAUNCH IN 2005, THE COLLABORATING CENTRE HAS BECOME A THRIVING INTERNATIONAL NETWORK THAT IDENTIFIES, EVALUATES, ADAPTS, AND DISSEMINATES PATIENT SAFETY SOLUTIONS WORLDWIDE. IN 2007, NINE PATIENT SAFETY SOLUTIONS WERE INTRODUCED TO PREVENT SOME OF THE MOST COMMON MEDICAL ERRORS, INCLUDING: 1. LOOK-ALIKE, SOUND-ALIKE MEDICATION NAMES 2. PATIENT IDENTIFICATION 3. COMMUNICATION DURING PATIENT HAND-OVERS 4. PERFORMANCE OF CORRECT PROCEDURE AT CORRECT BODY SITE 5. CONTROL OF CONCENTRATED ELECTROLYTE SOLUTIONS 6. ASSURING MEDICATION ACCURACY AT TRANSITIONS IN CARE 7. AVOIDING CATHETER AND TUBING MISCONNECTIONS 8. SINGLE USE OF INJECTION DEVICES 9. IMPROVED HAND HYGIENE TO PREVENT HEALTH CARE-ASSOCIATED INFECTION THESE SOLUTIONS ARE AVAILABLE FREE OF CHARGE ON THE COLLABORATING CENTRE'S WEBSITE, WHICH RECEIVES MORE THAN 2,100 VISITORS PER MONTH. THERE WAS AN IDENTIFIED NEED FOR A COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION OF THE INAUGURAL SOLUTIONS. AN EVALUATION STUDY ADDRESSING IMPACT, DISSEMINATION, AND VALUE OF THE SOLUTIONS WAS UNDERTAKEN BY WHO AND IS IN THE FINAL STAGES. A REPORT OF THE FINDINGS IS ANTICIPATED WITHIN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. IT IS ALSO ANTICIPATED THAT THE NEXT SET OF PATIENT SAFETY SOLUTIONS WILL BE RELEASED IN 2012. THESE SOLUTIONS WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE OUTCOME OF THE SOLUTIONS EVALUATION STUDY. THE COLLABORATING CENTRE HAS ESTABLISHED, AND CONTINUES TO EXPAND, A COLLABORATIVE NETWORK TO FACILITATE THE IDENTIFICATION OF HIGH PRIORITY SAFETY PROBLEMS AND POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS AROUND THE WORLD. THE ACTION ON PATIENT SAFETY: HIGH 5'S THROUGH THE WHO ACTION ON PATIENT SAFETY INITIATIVE, ALSO KNOWN AS THE HIGH 5'S PROJECT, THE COLLABORATING CENTRE IS SUPPORTING A PROGRAM TO ACHIEVE MEASURABLE, SIGNIFICANT, AND SUSTAINABLE REDUCTIONS IN CHALLENGING PATIENT SAFETY PROBLEMS THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION OF STANDARD OPERATING PROTOCOLS WITHIN A GLOBAL LEARNING COMMUNITY OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. THE INITIATIVE IS A COLLABORATION SUPPORTED BY THE US AGENCY FOR HEALTHCARE RESEARCH AND QUALITY (AHRQ) AND THE WHO. IN 2008, THE HIGH 5'S COMPLETED PHASE ONE OF THE PROJECT WHICH WAS THE DEVELOPMENT OF STANDARD OPERATING PROTOCOLS AND A DETAILED IMPACT EVALUATION. THE HIGH 5'S SOLUTIONS INCLUDE: 1. PREVENTION OF PATIENT CARE HAND-OVER ERRORS 2. PREVENTION OF WRONG SITE/WRONG PROCEDURE/WRONG PERSON SURGICAL ERRORS 3. PREVENTION OF CONTINUITY OF MEDICATION ERRORS 4. PREVENTION OF HIGH CONCENTRATION DRUG ERRORS 5. PROMOTION OF EFFECTIVE HAND HYGIENE PRACTICES IN 2009, THE HIGH 5'S PROJECT COMPLETED THE DEVELOPMENTAL WORK OF THE PROJECT BY PROVIDING TRAINING TO EIGHT COUNTRIES AND PRE-TESTING THE STANDARD OPERATING PROTOCOLS IN SELECTED PARTICIPATING SITES INTERNATIONALLY. THE PROJECT ALSO COMPLETED THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ONLINE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM TO COLLECT DATA, PRESENT PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROJECT, AND PROVIDE A VIRTUAL PLATFORM FOR THE LEARNING COMMUNITY. IN 2010, THE HIGH 5'S PROJECT BEGAN THE IMPLEMENTATION PHASE OF THE PROJECT. HOSPITALS IN 6 COUNTRIES BEGAN IMPLEMENTING ONE OR MORE STANDARD OPERATING PROTOCOLS. THE COLLABORATING CENTRE SUPPORTED THE IMPLEMENTATION PHASE BY PROVIDING ONGOING CONTINUING EDUCATION AND LEARNING EXPERIENCES, PROVIDING TECHNICAL SUPPORT TO PARTICIPATING COUNTRIES, AND WRITING AND DISSEMINATING QUARTERLY REPORTS ON THE DATA SUBMITTED. WORK WITH WHO TO DECREASE ACQUISITION OF HIV IN AFRICA RESEARCH FINDINGS HAVE SHOWN THAT MALE CIRCUMCISION SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASES TRANSMISSION OF HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS (HIV). THESE RESEARCH FINDINGS HAVE PROMPTED COUNTRIES EXPERIENCING A HIGH INCIDENCE OF HIV TO ANTICIPATE A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN ADULT MALES SEEKING CIRCUMCISION. HOWEVER, PERFORMING THE SURGERY SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY IS CRITICAL. AS A RESULT, THE WHO, WITH ASSISTANCE FROM JCI, EMBARKED TO DEVELOP AND ASSIST COUNTRIES IN IMPLEMENTING STANDARDS FOR MALE CIRCUMCISION SERVICES. THE WHO SELECTED JCI BECAUSE OF ITS EXPERIENCE IN QUALITY IMPROVEMENT AND IN DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING STANDARDS. JCI HELPED DEVELOP THE STANDARDS WHICH HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED BY THE WHO. THESE STANDARDS FOR CIRCUMCISION USE EVIDENCE-BASED GUIDELINES TO PERFORM THE SURGERY CORRECTLY AND MANAGE COMPLICATIONS. THE STANDARDS ADDRESS ASSURING THAT DRUGS, SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT ARE AVAILABLE, STAFF ARE COMPETENT, AND INFECTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL MEASURES ARE IN PLACE. THE NEW STANDARDS ALSO ADDRESS PRIVACY CONCERNS AS WELL AS INFORMED CONSENT. AFTER FIELD TESTING THE STANDARDS IN SWAZILAND, UGANDA, KENYA, AND ZAMBIA, JCI IS NOW WORKING WITH WHO TO HELP INDIVIDUAL COUNTRIES IMPLEMENT THE STANDARDS AND MANAGE THE CHANGES NEEDED TO ENSURE SAFE CIRCUMCISION SERVICES.
