a seriesThe JCI list of accredited organizations
also: JCI accredited organizations directory · Gold Seal list
Hospitals call it being on the list. It is a register of organisations that applied, paid and passed, kept by the body they paid.
The directory of hospitals, clinics and programmes outside the United States currently holding Joint Commission International accreditation. It is the register behind almost every accreditation claim in this trade, and the only place a reader can check whether the mark on a hospital's homepage is still live.
The story Inference
It is not a survey of hospitals. An organisation decides to apply, signs a contract, pays, prepares, and is surveyed on an agreed date; accreditation then runs three years. So the list maps demand for inspection, not distribution of quality. A hospital absent from it may never have applied, may have let it lapse, may hold a different mark, or may have failed — the list does not distinguish those four, and three of them look identical from outside.
That selection has a geography. Accreditation costs money in a currency the applicant may not earn, and the hospitals that buy it are disproportionately the ones selling to foreigners, because the mark is worth most where the buyer cannot judge the hospital any other way. A country with a strong public system and no export trade can have excellent hospitals and almost no entries.
Inference — counting is therefore the only defensible use. This site records an accreditation as an event with a body, a date and a source, and eleven facility records on this disk carry a JCI row. None of them is read as a score, none is weighed against another body's mark, and none is treated as current evidence about a hospital without its date.
Today Inference
As of 17 September 2026 the directory could not be read by this project. jointcommissioninternational.org answers with a permanent redirect to jointcommission.org/en/, and every path under it refused an automated request with HTTP 403 — robots.txt included. No count of accredited organisations is carried here for that reason. Every accreditation on this site is therefore taken from the accredited hospital's own page or from a named secondary source, with the date it was read.
The particulars
| publisher | Joint Commission International |
|---|---|
| region | Everywhere |
| publisher | Joint Commission International |
| unit | accredited organizations, one row per organization |
| years | a live directory of current accreditations, with no published archive of lapsed ones |
| license | no reuse terms retrieved; the site refused every automated request on 17 September 2026 |
| updated by publisher | continuously, as surveys are completed and accreditations expire |
| counts | Organizations that applied for JCI accreditation, paid for the survey, met the standards on the survey date, and are inside a three-year cycle. |
| does not count | Everybody who did not apply. This is a register of purchased inspections, so it maps who bought one rather than who is any good, and no hospital appears in it involuntarily. It carries no outcome data — no infection rate, no mortality, no revision rate — no price, no patient volume, and no record of a complaint. Nor does it show the lapsed: an accreditation that expired leaves a hospital's website long after it leaves the list, and the list itself keeps no public history of who used to be on it. |
