Joint Commission accreditation can be earned by many types of health care organizations, including hospitals, doctor’s offices, nursing homes, office based surgery centers, behavioral health treatment facilities, and providers of home care services. There are several different types of health care facilities accredited by the Joint Commission such as, Ambulatory Health Care, Behavioral Health Care, Critical Access Hospitals, Home Care, Hospital, Laboratory Services, Nursing Care Center, and International Accreditation. I also found out that the behavioral health care accreditation since 1969 when it began accrediting organizations. The Joint Commission behavioral accreditation provides a management framework to help manage the risk and enhance the quality and safety of care, treatment and services. The Behavioral Health Home Certification goes into effect January 1, 2014, is an optional certification available to organizations accredited under The Joint Commission Behavioral Health Care Accreditation program. As searching and reading the Joint Commission website I found out that that the accredited organizations may serve people throughout the life span or specialize in an age or disability group. They also have various settings and populations and includes: Addictions, Case Management, and Corrections, Eating disorders, Foster care, and Outpatient programs. United States citizens make up at least 10% of the organizations client population. I really found out some important information.…
