Understanding the Application Process

The Joint Commission’s application for telehealth accreditation is an important step in your journey. We use it to collect essential information about your organization, including ownership and management, volumes, and types of modalities and services provided. This data helps us determine the number of days required for your virtual survey, the composition of the survey team and the services we’ll need to review.

Our Application Process Can Be Completed in Five Simple Steps:

Circle with numeral 1
Request the application from the representative you are working with or from .

After your request is processed, you will receive an email providing login information. You can access the electronic application anytime.

Your login credentials will give you access to your own extranet page, where you can review and complete the application in stages.
