How often are advanced certifications awarded by the Joint Commission valid?

Advanced certifications awarded by the Joint Commission are valid for a duration of two years. This timeframe is established to ensure that healthcare organizations maintain a high standard of quality and safety in their services. By requiring recertification every two years, the Joint Commission promotes continuous improvement and encourages healthcare providers to stay current with best practices and developments in patient care.

Additionally, this two-year validity period allows organizations to adapt to new challenges and changes in the healthcare landscape, ensuring that they continuously meet the standards necessary for advanced certification.
