Form 990, Part III, Line 1 Organization's Mission	(Continuation from Form 990 Part III, Line 1) Joint Commission Resources (JCR), a wholly controlled, not-for-profit affiliate of The Joint Commission, is a global, knowledge-based organization that disseminates information regarding accreditation, standards development and compliance, good practices, and patient safety and performance improvement. Joint Commission International (JCI), a division of JCR, has extensive experience working with public and private healthcare organizations, ministries of health, and local governments in more than 100 countries. JCI provides accreditation based on international standards, as well as third-party review and evaluation services. Examples of Projects in Support of JCR's Mission At the request of several Ministries of Health, JCI developed the International Essentials of Health Care Quality and Patient Safety (Essentials), which is a quality and safety roadmap designed to help healthcare organizations identify and focus on those areas that pose the greatest risk to patient safety. The Essentials have been used as a basis for the development of the Rwandan Hospital Accreditation Program, a USAID project that JCI has been a subcontractor for Management Sciences for Health. The Essentials have also been used as the basis for assessing organizations as part of the SafeCare Foundation, which is described below. SafeCare Foundation JCI signed an agreement with the South African-based Council for Health Service Accreditation of Southern Africa (COHSASA) and the PharmAccess Foundation of the Netherlands to establish the SafeCare Foundation. SafeCare has grown out of a global initiative to introduce a comprehensive quality improvement program using internationally recognized standards to improve healthcare delivery in resource-poor settings in Africa. To assist with establishment of this program, JCI contributed a royalty-free license to use its proprietary analytical platform based on its Essentials quality and safety roadmap (described above). SafeCare is active in Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, and Tanzania. The program is funded primarily by USAID, Gates Foundation, and other US and international donor agencies. JCI-CRHG Academy of Hospital Management JCI has entered into a joint venture with China Resources Healthcare Group, a healthcare organization in the People's Republic of China, to introduce JCI's knowledge system of quality and patient safety through training, education, and publications to educate local professionals in quality management, thus improving the quality and safety in Chinese healthcare organizations. The JCI-CRHG Academy of Hospital Management began offering education programs in China in 2016. In 2017, in addition to the education offerings, the JCI-CRHG Academy of Hospital Management translated several JCR publications into simplified Chinese for release into the Chinese market. Free Resources JCR offers more than 125 free resources on quality and patient safety to customers and the public. These free resources, which are available on JCR's Website, include articles published in JCR periodicals, books, whitepapers, toolkits, and checklists, on topics ranging from medication management to infection prevention and control to emergency management. A description of JCR's primary program services can be found on Form 990, Part III, Lines 4a to 4d.

In addition, JCR aids organizations that are preparing for CMS or state agency (on behalf of CMS) surveys. JCR (and internationally through JCI) offers seminars, conferences, webinars, education programs, and a video broadcast service that address standards compliance, performance improvement, and patient safety, among other topics, for different healthcare settings. JCI also offers diploma-style education programs, which are intensive, 3--12 month education programs, for infection control and quality management and patient safety staff within healthcare organizations. JCR offers the Certified Joint Commission Professional (CJCP) program, a certification program for accreditation professionals that features an online examination and continuing education requirements to achieve and maintain certification. JCR offers most of its educational offerings with continuing education credits from ANCC, ACCME, and ACHE. (See Schedule O, Part III, Line 1, for further description)
