Product Description

Product Description

Joint Commission International Accreditation Standards for Long-Term Care, 2nd Edition provides the basis for accreditation of long-term care organizations throughout the world. Joint Commission International (JCI) standards define the performance expectations, structures, and functions that must be in place for a long-term care organization to be accredited by JCI. 
 
In this manual, the term “resident” is used instead of “patient” throughout the accreditation standards, intents, and measurable elements. Resident is defined as an individual who resides within a long-term care or assisted living community and may receive care, treatment, or services. The updated manual sought to reflect the most current thinking in resident safety practices and concepts to help accredited and nonaccredited organizations uncover their most pressing safety risks and advance their goals for continuous quality improvement. 
 
The manual has been organized into three sections: 
  1. Accreditation Participation Requirements
  2. Resident-Centered Standards
  3. Health Care Organization Management Standards
 
Within each section, standards are separated into chapters. Each standard includes an intent and measurable elements. The intent describes the rationale for the standard and provides examples (when applicable) on the application of the standards. The measurable elements are the specific requirements of the standard. In addition to the standards chapters, an introduction, the eligibility requirements, the Accreditation Participation Requirements (APR), a summary of key accreditation policies, and a glossary are included.
