An organization’s survey may end in one of the following ways:
Accreditation: granted when the organization is in compliance will all standards.
Provisional accreditation: granted 45 to 60 days after the posting of the Accreditation Summary Findings Report if the organization fails to address requirements for improvements.
Conditional accreditation: May be granted for a variety of reasons, including failure to resolve problems identified during provisional accreditation.
Preliminary denial of accreditation: May be granted for a variety of reasons, including failure to resolve problems identified during conditional accreditation or because there was significant noncompliance with standards.
Denial of accreditation: Granted when all appeal opportunities have passed.
Preliminary accreditation: Granted under the Early Survey Policy when an organization has complied with a select list of standards.
This week’s answer is from “Facts about Accreditation Decisions for 2009,” one of several new documents posted on The Joint Commission’s Web site. Click here to see what else is new. http://www.jointcommission.org/Library/WhatsNew/
