Last week while we were in Orlando preparing for the AHAP conference, Joint Commission Resources (JCR) announced the release of the Joint Commission Certified Accreditation Professional (JCCAP) program, a professional certification program designed specifically for Joint Commission accreditation professionals.

To get the JCCAP credential, accreditation professionals must pass an exam on topics surrounding The Joint Commission accreditation standards and processes. The exam focuses on the standards areas of Medical Staff, Environment of Care, and Leadership, as well as patient safety, ongoing performance and organizational analysis, and requirements of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) related to hospitals.
