Product Description
Joint Commission International Certification Standards for Telehealth provides the basis for certification of telehealth organizations throughout the world. Joint Commission International (JCI) standards define the performance expectations, structures, and functions that must be in place for a telehealth organization to be certified by JCI.
The standards are divided into two main sections: 1) patient-centered care and 2) health care organization management.
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 Certification Participation Requirements (CPR), a summary of key certification policies, a glossary, and an index are included.
