Product Description

The 2024 Comprehensive Accreditation Manuals provide key information your health care organization needs to achieve and maintain continuous standards compliance and improve operations. Each Comprehensive Accreditation Manual describes the current accreditation process and includes all accreditation requirements—standards, elements of performance (EPs), and other requirements—that must be met to achieve The Gold Seal of Approval®. Each manual also includes the following:

• All standards and EPs effective January 1, 2024
• Details about The Joint Commission’s accreditation process, policies, and procedures
• Additional chapters on required written documentation, the early survey process, and more

Need only the requirements and not all the accreditation process information?  Then Click here for the abridged hard-copy versions of the hospital, ambulatory care, or behavioral health care and human services manuals. A 2024 Update Service is available to keep your CAMH or CAMBHC binder up to date with replacement pages.

Note: We do not offer hard-copy and/or PDF manuals for all Joint Commission accreditation programs. If you need accreditation standards for office-based surgery, they are available only digitally on E-dition®, found on your Joint Commission Connect® extranet site or available for purchase here.
