Selection and Retention

(JCAHO) standards

The beginnings of the committee refers to the American College of Surgeons, and were, therefore, an initiative of the medical profession.  Given the increased complexity of the requirements and coverage areas, gradually other institutions became part of this process of the American Medical Association, the American Hospital Association, representatives of professionals (dentists and nurses) and consumers. Since 1988, the Joint Commission on Hospital Accreditation (JCHA) was renamed as Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), which indicated the expansion of its scope of activities (JCAHO, 2010) .

Initially, the market drove the formation and performance of JCAHO, and the developed model pointed to the self-regulation based on the expectations of the healthcare industry. However, the American reality, the introduction of Medicare and Medicaid changed this picture. The accreditation of service providers to the agreement state, i.e., Medicaid, also happened to be done through evaluation that took into account the criteria set by accrediting organizations that performed.
