Keeping Up with the Joint Commission; New Series for Joint Commission Education
Since 2008, the Joint Commission accreditation team has been sharing education and Joint Commission information. The former theme was a take on the quiz show “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?” Now, the accreditation team is introducing a new theme, "Keeping Up with the Joint Commission,” a play on Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
Each education topic is called an ‘episode’ and you can ‘stream’ all episodes onthe Keeping Up with the Joint Commission CookNet page. A mock survey is scheduled in January 2027, and the unannounced survey will happen between October 2027-March 2028. You will start seeing our new look as important education is shared.
Stay tuned for the first episode of the series.
