About JCI

JCI stands for "Joint Commission International". JCI is a subsidiary of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) which was founded in the U.S in 1951 and currently accredits nearly 80% of hospitals in the United States. JCI sets standards for hospitals focused on one goal: raising the safety and quality of care to the highest possible level.


What does JCI Accredited mean?

JCI Accredited means that a hospital has met the JCI standards. This only happens after the hospital has been visited by JCI surveyors who thoroughly check that the hospital is following all the standards everyday. Penang Adventist Hospital was visited by JCI surveyors from the U.S. in November 2007 and has been awarded with JCI Accreditation for an initial 3 years (2008-2010).
