One of a number of available accreditation schemes available around the world for hospitals, Joint Commission International, or JCI, accreditation, is an American Private Corporation which checks out hospitals.
Regarding "Star Ratings", The International Healthcare Commisssion (IHC) is the only organization that awards hospital quality "Star Ratings". IHC rates clinical outcomes of hospitals and compares them to 5000 Joint Commission (USA) Hospitals. Hospitals achieving clinical outcomes higher than the JC USA national averages are awarded "5 Star Ratings".
Other recognised schemes include the Trent Accreditation Scheme from the United Kingdom, which is part of the British NHS, and ACHSI from Australia. Places to look for further information include:

What are disadvantages of gas sterilization?
Ethylene oxide and formaldehyde are two commonly used gases for sterilisation purposes
Advantages of ethylene oxide gas sterilisation
- Ethylene oxide is a gas at room temperature (boiling point 10.7°C)
- Readily permeates plastics, cardboards, cloth
- Gases are extremely effective at killing microorganisms
- The bacterial spores are only about 5 times more resistant than vegetative cells (unlike the other sterilisation methods)
- The reactive hydrogen atoms can all be replaced by hydroxyl-ethyl groups, and this replacement will interfere with a wide variety of metabolic activities
Disadvantages of ethylene oxide gas sterilisation
- Does not permeate crystals
- The levels at which it is detected exceeds safe humans for humans
- Toxicity includes burns, blistering, headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, weeping (lacrimation)
- Needs to be completely removed from treated products (e.g. rubber gloves) to avoid skin reactions
- Explosive mixtures are formed with air at concentrations above 3%
- Humidity may decrease activity
Advantages of formaldehyde gas sterilisation
- Formaldehyde is a gas at room temperature (boiling point - 19°C)
- Very reactive molecule, with a small difference in effectiveness between spores and cells (as is the case with ethylene oxide)
- Acts as a mutagenic agent, reacting with carbonyl, thiol, and hydroxyl groups
Disadvantages of formaldehyde gas sterilisation
- The vapour is extremely irritating to the eyes
- Weak penetrating power, and so is only really a surface bactericide
- The gas is difficult to remove and requires long airing times
- A relative humidity of ~ 75% is required in order to be effective as the gas has to dissolve in a film of moisture surrounding the bacteria

Why do Brits say IN hospital instead of IN THE hospital and which is correct?
In some respects, British English is more subtle than American English, and this is an example. In British English, 'hospital' can mean a 'specific place' or it can mean an 'organisation'. For example, if I were to visit a particular hospital, then I would say "I am going to the hospital to visit my friend". But if I were to enter hospital for, say, treatment, then I would say that "I am going into hospital for an operation". In this sense, I mean that I am being 'hospitalised', and which hospital is irrelevant.
I expect Americans do the same thing with 'jail'? If you are going to be locked up, you would probably say that you are "going to jail". On the other hand if you were going to visit a particular jail, say to visit a relative, then you would say that you are "going to the jail (in the next town.... or whatever)".
Yes either is correct. If I say the hospital
then the person I am talking to knows what hospital I am talking about. Often a town will have only one hospital or one general hospital so the hospital
means "the hospital in town".
