About Us
For 45 years, The Joint Commission has led the way in shaping standards and defining best practices related to quality improvement efforts and patient care for more than 2,000 ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) across the nation. Organizations like yours have partnered with us to earn the highest recognition there is in ambulatory care accreditation — The Gold Seal of Approval® from The Joint Commission.
Achieving Ambulatory Care accreditation not only enhances and objectively validates your performance reliability, it also:
- Proactively minimizes risk areas for your clients, staff and brand
- Creates a performance-focused competitive edge to help boost market share
- Leverages a vetted framework to grow or expand services
- Meets state/federal mandates or eligibility requirements for payers and network providers
Our ASC-specific standards are a practical, industry-vetted framework to help you minimize risk and boost consistency in how care and services are delivered. Our requirements focus on key operational areas that most impact the safety and quality of personal care services, such as:
- Staff competency
- Patient assessment
- Medication management
- Infection control
