Instill Community Confidence
Achieving accreditation is a visible demonstration to patients and the community that your organization provides the highest quality services. By going through a third-party evaluation, your rural health clinic is looking to provide the best care possible, which is so important since rural health clinics are frequently a huge pillar in a community.
Recognitions for Quality and Reimbursement
As the role of valued-based contracting increases, states, insurers and payors trust in Joint Commission accreditation as a quality metric to allow payment approval, network participation and contract or licensure eligibility.
Structure for Operational Excellence
Our standards form the basis of an objective evaluation process that helps rural health clinics measure, assess and improve performance. Joint Commission standards and tracer methodology focus on important patient care and organization functions that are essential to providing safe, high-quality care.
