JCAHO Standards Resource for Hospitals

JCAHO stands for the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO). It is a private, nonprofit organization who evaluates medical facility compliance based on a focused set of "requirements" that are long known as essential to the delivery of good patient care.

Who is the JCAHO?

The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations sets the standards by which healthcare quality is measured. JCAHO accreditation means that UTHCPC has met the needs of people they have served in demonstrated to the standards.

UTHCPC undergoes an extensive on-site review by JCAHO professionals to maintain their accreditation. The review evaluates UTHCPC’s performance in all areas that affect patient care and then evaluated and scored. Accreditation may then be awarded based on how well UTHCPC met JCAHO standards.

sheila  - medicain pulled in or   |2008-08-20 04:13:56
I have a question in regards to pulling meds for first cases in the or. I work
3rd shift and was told to pull meds for the 7 am cases. The problem is that i
start to open up the room at 5:30am and if i pull the meds at that time they
will be left unattened. I was told that this is a jacho procedure that is not
allowed. Could you please help me know if this is true or not!!! Thank you.
