JCAHO is the national evaluation and certifying agency for nearly 20,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States, including hospitals, hospice services, nursing homes, laboratories, rehabilitation centers and behavioral health care organizations. The Joint Commission develops all its accreditation requirements in consultation with behavioral health care experts, providers, measurement experts, individuals and their families.
