About Community Visiting Nurse Association

Founded in 1951, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) seeks to continuously improve the safety and quality of care provided to the public through provision of health accreditation and related services that support performance improvement in health care organizations. The Joint Commission evaluates and accredits nearly 17,000 hospitals and home care organizations, and 8,000 other health care organizations that provide long term care, assisted living, behavioral health care, laboratory and ambulatory care services. The Joint Commission also accredits health plans, integrated delivery networks, and other managed care entities. An independent, not-for-profit organization, the Joint Commission is the nation's oldest and largest standards-setting and accrediting body in health care.
