| Form 990, Part III, Line 1 Organization's Mission | (Continuation from Form 990 Part III, Line 1) Joint Commission Resources (JCR), a wholly controlled, not-for-profit affiliate of The Joint Commission, is a global, knowledge-based organization that disseminates information regarding accreditation, standards development and compliance, good practices, and patient safety and performance improvement. Joint Commission International (JCI), a division of JCR, has extensive experience working with public and private healthcare organizations, ministries of health, and local governments in more than 100 countries. JCI provides accreditation based on international standards, as well as third-party review and evaluation services. Examples of Projects in Support of JCR's Mission JCR's mission aims to help all healthcare providers no matter where they are on their journey in providing safe patient care. This resulted in the creation of JCI Navigator, designed to help organizations that we have not been able to serve with Accreditation. JCI Navigator is an online solution available to hospitals that are at the early stages of establishing quality and patient safety improvement initiatives. In 2020, the Infection Prevention and Control Navigator module was shared with global organizations at no cost to assist in their efforts in building resilient infection prevention and control systems in the wake of the COVID-19 global pandemic. JCI-CRHG Academy of Hospital Management In 2015, JCI entered into a joint venture (JV) with China Resources Healthcare Group (CRHG), a healthcare organization in the People's Republic of China. The purpose of the JV is to introduce JCI's knowledge system of quality and patient safety through providing advisory services, training, education, and publications to educate local professionals in quality management, thus improving the quality and safety in Chinese healthcare organizations. The JV, JCI-CRHG Academy of Hospital Management began offering services in China in 2016. The JV has also translated several JCR publications into simplified Chinese for release into the Chinese market. Free Resources JCR offers more than 125 free resources on quality and patient safety to customers and the public. These free resources, which are available on JCR's Web site, include articles published in JCR periodicals, books, whitepapers, toolkits, and checklists, on topics ranging from medication management to infection prevention and control to emergency management. In addition, JCR also partnered with another firm to develop and publish a free white paper entitled "COVID-19 Lessons Learned: A Resource for Recovery." The white paper catalogues a broad array of lessons learned and best practices identified during the period of March through August 2020. It lays out specific actions that healthcare organizations have taken to address a variety of issues, and provides access to guidance and tools that health care leaders can use to implement their own plans in pandemic management and recovery. In 2021, JCR developed a free white paper entitled "House of Quality, A Blueprint for Quality." The white paper provides a blueprint for creating a quality program detailing why it's important, how to build the program, and how to make improvements for the future. JCR Primary Program Services JCR's primary program services are described below. Joint Commission International Accreditation JCI provides international standards and accreditation programs for international healthcare organizations. JCI standards and evaluation methods are designed to provide quantifiable benchmarks for patient care quality and improvement, to stimulate and support sustained performance improvement, and to provide a framework for risk reduction for international healthcare organizations. JCI offers accreditation programs for hospitals, academic medical centers, hospital and health care systems, clinical laboratories, ambulatory care, long term care, home care, primary care, and medical transport organizations. JCI also provides disease-specific and clinical care program certification. JCI has accredited over 1000 healthcare organizations in more than 70 countries. JCI's accreditation program/organization, standards, and surveyor training program are accredited worldwide by the International Society for Quality in Health Care External Evaluation Association (IEEA), a non-profit, independent organization that accredits healthcare accrediting bodies. Accreditation under IEEA provides the assurance that the standards, training, and processes used by JCI to survey healthcare organizations meet the highest international benchmarks for accrediting bodies. Consultative Technical Assistance JCR supports its mission by providing consultative technical assistance services to healthcare organizations, ministries of health, and other third-party stakeholders on topics such as quality of care, patient safety, performance improvement, infection prevention and control, medication safety, environment of care, health-related systems evaluation, and accreditation preparation assistance. JCR also helps international governments develop their own national accreditation systems and broader quality and safety improvement strategies. JCR also offers consultative technical assistance to hospitals in the U.S. and globally (through JCI) that are renovating or building new healthcare structures. This service, Safe Health Design, integrates Joint Commission or JCI standards requirements, evidence-based design principles, and globally recognized patient safety and quality practices. JCR assists organizations in their efforts to maintain safe, high quality care by providing professionals to temporarily oversee certain quality and safety activities. The service can provide focused quality improvement in patient care and safety areas that need attention (e.g., readmissions and falls) and sharing of best practices from professionals with deep industry knowledge. Publications and Multimedia Applications JCR, the official publisher for the Joint Commission, publishes accreditation manuals, books, and periodicals on standards compliance, patient safety, performance improvement, infection control, medication management, policies and procedures, and other issues related to healthcare quality. These resources are offered in print and electronically, including through web-based applications. JCR also manages The Joint Commission's peer-reviewed journal on quality and patient safety. JCR also offers electronic accreditation and certification manuals and other electronic products to help healthcare organizations assess and manage their compliance with Joint Commission standards and support organizations' efforts to improve the quality and safety of healthcare delivery. In addition, JCR offers a Web-based tool that allows healthcare organizations to trace a simulated patient's care throughout an organization to identify focus areas related to standards compliance, patient safety, and performance improvement. JCR also offers an online multimedia portal that features information about CMS' Conditions of Participation requirements and survey methodology for accredited and non-accredited hospitals. Other JCR Program Services JCR offers a service called Continuous Service Readiness that provides ongoing guidance with a dedicated healthcare quality and safety expert to help organizations meet the standards to achieve and maintain Joint Commission accreditation and/or disease-specific care certification. The service also provides bi-annual workshops that educate on a variety of hot topics such as medication management, facilities management, and infection control. JCR (and internationally through JCI) offers seminars, conferences, webinars, and other education programs that address standards compliance, performance improvement, and patient safety, among other topics, for different healthcare settings. JCI also offers diploma- and certificate-style education programs, which are intensive, 3-12 month education programs, for infection control and quality management and patient safety staff within healthcare organizations. |

All staff and board members review the policy on an annual basis and complete a Conflict of Interest questionnaire each year which, is designed to identify interests that could give rise to possible conflicts. Although many such potential conflicts are and will be deemed inconsequential, every individual of the Organization has an ongoing responsibility to disclose situations that involve personal, family, or business relationships that could be perceived as a conflict of interest. The interests identified are reviewed by the corporate compliance officer, general counsel, and governance committee and appropriately managed. All disclosures are pursued until 100% completed. Prior to any board or committee meeting, a member is required to disclose a conflict of interest or possible conflict of interest on any matter during a meeting and then not vote or use personal influence on the matter. The minutes of the meeting reflects that a disclosure was made and the member abstained from voting. At the beginning of each board or committee meeting a request is made to disclose any potential conflict of interest. The Compliance Officer monitors and reviews the conflict of interest policy as well as the responses to the questionnaires on an annual basis. The Organization also has available an independent hotline number for staff to report anonymously any potential conflicts during the year. |

| COVID-19 IMPACT | In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a coronavirus to be a pandemic. In that same month, the United States of America declared a national public health emergency concerning the COVID-19 outbreak. Consequently, The Joint Commission enterprise suspended all on-site customer engagements. Shortly thereafter, virtual engagement models were created for accreditation, certification, education, consultative technical assistance, and high reliability training activities; these models of service delivery began to roll out in May 2020, increasing in volume over the course of the year. In June 2020, on-site engagements were restarted and continued through December 31 2020 on a limited basis. In addition, The Joint Commission enterprise aggressively reduced costs to mitigate the impact of lost on-site revenues. Despite these measures, the pandemic resulted in a significant operating deficit in 2020. Although vaccines for COVID-19 are currently available to the general public in the U.S. and around the world, ongoing outbreaks continued to have an adverse impact on the organization in 2021. Management forecasts suggest it may take several years before the enterprise returns to historical revenue levels. To date, the organization has been able to sustain its operations through operating cash and has kept its reserves intact. Management continues to monitor the situation very carefully and is prepared to take any actions needed to keep the organization financially sound. |
