Barnes-Jewish employees celebrating the Joint Commission accreditation with flashmob The Joint Commission is the primary hospital and healthcare accrediting body in the United States. Joint Commission accreditation is required by most states for hospital licensure and by the federal government for Medicare reimbursement and by most states for Medicaid reimbursement. But most importantly, Joint Commission accreditation is a sign that a healthcare organization is dedicated to the highest standards of quality and patient safety. Joint Commission surveys occur as unannounced "surprise" site visits, with the survey team doing in-depth inspections, record reviews and interviews with hospital personnel ranging from top administration to floor staff. Barnes-Jewish had its Joint Commission site visit in June and passed with flying colors. Barnes-Jewish employees celebrated the stellar review with an ice cream social. In the middle of the celebration, employees from throughout the hospital were surprised with a performance by a "flashmob" that gathered in the Queeny Tower lobby.

Nursing students sue Owens Four students in Owens Community College's nursing program have filed suit against the college, alleging they were misled into enrolling in a program that didn't hold proper accreditation. Plaintiffs in the case are Tiffany Habegger and Robin Kelly, both of Toledo; Brian Williams, Perrysburg; and Jason Rice, South Rockwood, Mich. The college has confirmed all four currently are enrolled in the registered nursing program on the Perrysburg Township campus. The suit, filed Thursday in Wood County Common Pleas Court, claims the college and its administrators knew for two years Owens was in jeopardy of losing its accreditation with the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission, and not only failed to take the necessary action to avert the loss, but also failed to advise students this fall that accreditation had been lost.

Online Degrees explained by Andrew Jackson University You've heard a lot about it, but what is so great about online degrees? Online education allows you the freedom to learn anywhere, at any time.

That is where Andrew Jackson University gets its mantra: TAKE EDUCATION ANYWHERE. But what about degree mills?

Accreditation is the process by which a recognized organization approves all aspects of a school, therefore establishing their credibility. AJU is accredited by the Distance Education Training Council, which has been recognized by the US.

The trainees are the second batch of students to pass the Management Development Services (MDS) training course which is accredited by the Rural Employer Engagement Development Network (REEDNet).
