Nikki Crisafi, Surgical Technologist at Aristocrat Plastic Surgery

Our surgical facility is accredited by JCAHO (Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations). The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) surveys over 20,000 Hospitals, Health Networks and Ambulatory Care Centers across the nation and is the "gold standard" for assessing quality of health care. An independent, not-for-profit organization, JCAHO is the nation's predominant standards-setting and accrediting body in health care. Since 1951, JCAHO has developed state-of-the-art, professionally based standards and evaluated the compliance of health care organizations against these benchmarks.
JCAHO accreditation is recognized nationwide as a symbol of quality that reflects an organization's commitment to meeting certain performance standards. To earn and maintain accreditation, an organization must undergo an on-site survey by a JCAHO survey team at least every three years. Laboratories must be surveyed every two years.
JCAHO's standards address the organization's level of performance in key functional areas, such as patient rights, patient treatment, and infection control, and the standards focus not simply on an organization's ability to provide safe, high quality care, but on its actual performance as well. Standards set forth performance expectations for activities that affect the safety and quality of patient care. If an organization does the right things and does them well, there is a strong likelihood that its patients will experience good outcomes. JCAHO develops its standards in consultation with health care professionals, providers, measurement professionals, purchasers and consumers.
