cost of accreditation for hospital
Following the end of the survey, the JCI decision on accreditation will be given. The process of achieving JCI accreditation takes between 12 and 24 months for a hospital. The average JCI accreditation fee for a full hospital survey in 2010 was $46,000 USD. The cost of accreditation depends on the size of the health care organization and the complexity of the organization, which determines how many surveyors are needed and how long the survey will take to carry out. Large, multi-specialty university hospitals will have a higher fee than specialty hospitals.
