This book is for everyone who plays a part in an organization’s accreditation process—not just for those who are new to accreditation.
This indispensable guide is divided into three parts—before, during, and after the survey—to align with your accreditation journey. It walks you through the Joint Commission accreditation process step by step, from application to survey day and from the accreditation decision to continuous readiness.
