The mission is to continuously improve the safety & quality of health care in the US and international community through the provision of education, publications, consultative technical assistance and evaluation services.

JCR supports its mission by providing consultative technical assistance services to healthcare organizations, Ministries of Health, and other third-party stakeholders, such as USAID and World Bank, on topics such as quality of care, patient safety, performance improvement, infection prevention and control, medication safety, environment of care, health-related systems evaluation, and accreditation preparation assistance. JCR also helps international governments, develop their own national accreditation systems. JCR also offers consultative technical assistance to hospitals in the U.S. and globally (through JCI) that are renovating or building new healthcare structures. This service, Safe Health Design, integrates Joint Commission or JCI standards requirements, evidence-based design principles, and globally recognized patient safety and quality practices. JCR assists organizations in their efforts to maintain safe, high quality care by providing professionals to temporarily oversee certain quality and safety activities. The service can provide focused quality improvement in patient care and safety areas that need attention (e.g., readmissions and falls) and sharing of best practices from professionals with deep industry knowledge.

JCR, the official publisher for the Joint Commission, publishes accreditation manuals, books, and periodicals on standards compliance, patient safety, performance improvement, infection control, medication management, and other issues related to healthcare quality. These resources are offered in print and electronically, including through web-based applications. JCR also manages The Joint Commission's peer-reviewed journal on quality and patient safety. JCR also offers electronic accreditation and certification manuals and other electronic products to help healthcare organizations assess and manage their compliance with Joint Commission standards and support organizations' efforts to improve the quality and safety of healthcare delivery. In addition, JCR offers a Web-based tool that allows healthcare organizations to trace a simulated patient's care throughout an organization to identify focus areas related to standards compliance, patient safety, and performance improvement. JCR also offers an online multimedia portal that features information about CMS' Conditions of Participation requirements and survey methodology for accredited and non-accredited hospitals.

JCI provides international standards and accreditation programs for international healthcare organizations. JCI standards and evaluation methods are designed to provide quantifiable benchmarks for patient care quality and improvement, to stimulate and support sustained performance improvement, and to provide a framework for risk reduction for international healthcare organizations. JCI offers accreditation programs for hospitals, academic medical centers, clinical laboratories, ambulatory care, long-term care, home care, primary care, and medical transport organizations. JCI also provides disease-specific and clinical care program certification in programs such as primary stroke, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, HIV/AIDs, oncology care, palliative care, and diabetes care. JCI has accredited nearly 1,100 healthcare organizations in more than 100 countries. JCI's accreditation program/organization, standards, and surveyor training program are accredited worldwide by the International Society for Quality in Health Care (ISQua), a non-profit, independent organization that accredits healthcare accrediting bodies. Accreditation under ISQua's International Accreditation Program provides the assurance that the standards, training, and processes used by JCI to survey healthcare organizations meet the highest international benchmark.
