How does a home medical equipment organization become Joint Commission accredited?

To earn and maintain accreditation, a home medical equipment organization undergoes an extensive on-site review by a select team of Joint Commission surveyors such as respiratory therapists or DME professionals at least once every three years. The purpose of the review is to evaluate the organization's performance in areas that affect patient care. Through an assessment of a company's procedures and visits with its patients and staff, the company is evaluated and scored. Accreditation may then be awarded based on how well the organization met Joint Commission standards.

What does Joint Commission accreditation of my medical equipment provider mean to me?

Because its standards are regarded as the most rigorous in the industry, companies who choose to be evaluated by The Joint Commission are therefore committed to providing the highest level of quality care to their patients. The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval ™ is a clear sign that the company has demonstrated compliance.
