About us
The Joint Commission evaluates and accredits more than 20,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States. An independent, not-for-profit organization, The Joint Commission is the nation’s predominant standards-setting and accrediting body in health care. Since 1951, The Joint Commission has maintained state-of-the-art standards that focus on improving the quality and safety of care provided by health care organizations. The Joint Commission’s comprehensive process evaluates an organization’s compliance with these standards and other accreditation or certification requirements. Joint Commission accreditation and certification is recognized nationwide as a symbol of quality that reflects an organization’s commitment to meeting certain performance standards. To earn and maintain The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval™, an organization must undergo an on-site survey by a Joint Commission survey team at least every three years. (Laboratories must be surveyed every two years.)

Despite being critical to the diagnostic process, symptom data is not consistently recorded or defined in EHR systems. National Quality Forum (NQF), an affiliate of The Joint Commission, is collaborating with the American Medical Association to change that. Learn more in a new article: https://lnkd.in/gmjZiEBS
From the American Medical Association: "Physicians and health informatics experts met in Washington last month to find ways to turn medical data into clinically relevant, actionable information that can be used to develop quicker and more accurate diagnoses and save lives. The objective of the physician experts convened by the AMA and the members of the National Quality Forum, an organization that develops consensus on quality measures, is to define terms and identify data characteristics regarding patient symptoms that can be better used and more easily shared."
