Joint Commission International Accreditation Standards for Hospitals, 
6th Edition, provides the basis for accreditation of hospitals 
throughout the world. Joint Commission International (JCI) standards 
define the performance expectations, structures, and functions that must
 be in place for a hospital to be accredited by JCI. The effective date 
of the 6th Edition is 1 July 2017, which means all surveys that begin on
 or after this date will be surveyed under the 6th Edition. The 
standards are divided into two main sections: 1) patient-centered care 
and 2) health care organization management. In addition, two chapters 
are included for hospitals that meet eligibility criteria for academic 
medical center accreditation these address additional requirements for 
human subjects research and medical professional education. Each 
standard includes an intent statement, which describes the rationale for
 the standard, and measurable elements, which are the specific 
requirements of the standard. In addition to the standards, an 
introduction, the eligibility requirements, a summary of key 
accreditation policies, a glossary, and an index are included.
