The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) standards regarding advance directives require healthcare facilities to inform patients of their rights to make decisions about their medical care, including the right to formulate advance directives. Facilities must provide information about advance directives, educate staff on their implementation, and ensure that patients’ advance directives are respected and followed. Additionally, hospitals must document the presence of advance directives in the patient's medical record. Compliance with these standards is essential for accreditation and enhances patient autonomy in healthcare decision-making.

What is jcaho?
JCAHO stands for Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. It is an independent body that inspects and certifies the facilities and protocols of hospitals, treatment centers, rehabs and similar organizations. Its purpose is to identify facilities that meet certain minimum standards. Although JCAHO certification is not mandatory, many secondary providers such as insurance companies will not deal as favorably with non-accredited institutions.
What is the purpose of jcaho?
JCAHO accredits/certifies hospitals, inspects them. They have guidelines for quality and other factors of hospital care. They do offer accreditation for Skilled Nursing Facilities. JCAHO is pretty strict and intense, the inspections really get administrators, doctors, and nurses on their toes. You'll know when JCAHO is coming by the excitement in the air. It's usually an annual event.

JCAHO doesn't fall under any part of the government. It's not federally run or backed.

Is jcaho a non profit organization?
It is often labeled as not-for-profit. This is a somewhat loose definition of not-for-profit because JCAHO profits both on its healthcare-related activities and on investments. The profit on healthcare activities is rather small compared to the total value of JCAHO. The return on JCAHO's investments was 5 times as high as its healthcare profits in 2007 ($5 million versus $1 million), while in 2008 JCAHO actually lost $27 million in the market. Total value of JCAHO is about $150 million, over half of which is invested. About half its investments are in the stock market.My source:http://www.jointcommission.org/NR/rdonlyres/05E0308B-E5FF-4CF7-AD63-39C038E85ACA/0/08_financial.pdfMy own opinion: An organization that plays the market this much is not really not-for-profit, nor is it really a healthcare organization. It is an investment firm that regulates healthcare.
What does JCAHO stand for?
