title: The Joint Commission's "improving organizational performance" standards for home infusion therapy providers.
abstract: In today's homecare environment, optimizing operational efficiency and making data-driven decisions is essential. Home infusion therapy organizations that are accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (Joint Commission) will find a heavy emphasis on the standards for improving organizational performance during the homecare survey process. The standards from the "Improving Organizational Performance" chapter are reviewed, and the Joint Commission's requirements for meeting the intent of the standards are discussed.
