JCAHO offers Quality Check

The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) has launched a series of public accountability initiatives to make consumer information available about the quality of care provided in accredited health care organizations.

Quality Check, a guide to learning about the quality of organizations can be found on the Web site at www.jcaho.org. It provides information about accredited health care organizations and programs, including contact information, accreditation decision, date of accreditation, and current accreditation status.

It also includes organization performance reports showing overall performance level, performance level in key areas, areas needing improvement, and how the organization compares to other organizations nationally in each performance area.
