New telehealth certification from JCI

Editor's Note

The Joint Commission announced on January 25 that its affiliate Joint Commission International (JCI) has started a new telehealth certification program.

To become certified, organizations must demonstrate a culture of continuous improvement through standardized practices and processes while ensuring coordination, communication, and alignment when providing patient care via telehealth.

Eligibility requirements for the new JCI Telehealth Certification program include that organizations be located outside the US and its territories and be accredited by JCI.
