For more than twenty years, there’s one organization to which over 10,000 hospitals, ambulatory care facilities, laboratories, and other health care organizations around the world have turned for patient safety and quality improvement resources:
We’re Joint Commission Resources (JCR).
And we’re dedicated to helping health care organizations prosper by improving quality of care and patient safety. Our passion for sustaining improvements in patient safety translates to practical strategies and real results.
Through our variety of practical products, publications, educational conferences, and consulting and distance learning services, JCR is the single, expert resource you can count on when it comes to building and sustaining improvements. We help organizations focus on patient safety through solutions addressing their most pressing challenges such as infection control, medication safety, and the environment in which care is delivered.
By helping organizations recognize the need for continuous improvement, we’re helping to create a culture of safety within health care organizations around the world.
Through our international division, Joint Commission International (JCI) we work with health care organizations, ministries of health, and governmental bodies around the world to assist in improving the quality and safety of patient care and achieve peak performance.
In fact, the world’s first World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centre, dedicated exclusively to patient safety solutions, is a joint partnership between the WHO, The Joint Commission, and JCI.
