Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organczatcons

The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations has accredited behavioral health care organizations since 1957. Accredited behavioral health care organizations include organizations providing services to persons with psychiatric disorders, substance abuse disor ders, or developmental disabilities/mental retardation; or, provide social services to other related populations. In the late 1980s, the Joint Commission initiated the redesign of accredita tion to include performance measurement. Performance measurement initiatives include the IMSystem, Requests for Indicators, National Library of Healthcare Indicators, TM and a national Council on Performance Measurement. These initiatives are steps toward the integration of performance measurement data into the accreditation process.
