Healthcare at the Crossroads: Guiding Principles for the Development of the Hospital of the Future

03 March 2010

The Joint Commission's public policy initiative was launched in 2001 to address broad issues relating to the provision of safe, high-quality health care in the US. Following this initiative, the Joint Commission released a paper that cited the importance of applying relevant state-of-the-art standards to address identified public policy issues.

The paper outlines a public policy action plan, developed by the Joint Commission, which involves gathering information along with multiple perspectives on this issue and formulating solutions.

It is part of the Joint Commission's execution of an action plan that includes convening of roundtable discussions and national symposia, and an active pursuit of the suggested recommendations.
