The Joint Commission (TJC) is a non-profit agency responsible for the accreditation of more than 21,00 healthcare organizations. The agency’s accreditations are used as a condition to determine the receipt of CMS reimbursement, and therefore, greatly influence community health centers’ (CHCs’) bottom lines and yearly revenue. With three-year accreditation cycles and unannounced survey dates, organizations must be up-to-date with and in compliance of all standards, processes, policies, and procedures. This is no small task, and usually requires significant time and resources to ensure certification is met with little risk of standards being cited for improvement. The instructor will share how community health center dental departments can prepare for an upcoming Joint Commission accreditation visit.
