Joint Commission Standards
JCIA made the first
move to respond the increased demand on standard based evaluation of the
health care. JCIA aims to impose objective standard series and processes
to health care organizations of international societies, create continuous

and there are basic standards that the institution needs to meet. There
are high standards for patient safety and patient care. Accreditation
includes legal, religious and cultural factors of the country where the
