The Joint Commission PUBLIC NOTICE
The Joint Commission will conduct an unannounced triennial accreditation survey of all VISN 10 facilities including the VA Healthcare System of Ohio, Chillicothe VA Medical Center, Cincinnati VA Medical Center, Cleveland VA Medical Center, Columbus Ambulatory Care Clinic and Dayton VA Medical Center. Additionally, a one-day unannounced survey could occur.
The purpose of the survey will be to evaluate the organization's compliance with nationally established Joint Commission standards. The survey results will be used to determine whether, and the conditions under which accreditation should be awarded the organization. Joint Commission standards deal with organization quality, safety-of-care issues, and the safety of the environment in which care is provided. Anyone believing that he or she has pertinent and valid information about such matters may contact Joint Commission as follows:

VISN 10 facilities will not take any disciplinary or retaliatory action because an employee reports safety or quality of care concerns to the Joint Commission. This notice is posted in accordance with the Joint Commission's accreditation participation requirements.
