The Joint Commission

The Joint Commission’s Rural Health Clinic Accreditation Program was developed to help improve quality and safety for patients in rural communities who are seeking preventive and specialized outpatient care. As a leader in healthcare accreditation, we are dedicated to supporting rural health clinics in providing high-quality care to their communities.

Accreditation from The Joint Commission has far reaching impacts foundational to quality of care such as enhanced staff competencies and performance improvement efforts and improved outcomes of care, treatment, and services. Accreditation provides a framework for consistency, reducing variation and risk, across the continuum for patients and staff. It connects the dots and helps prove to your stakeholders and community that you are committed to excellent quality and safe patient care.
