JCAHO (Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations) is the governing body that go into hospitals, clinics, long term vigilance facilities, etc. and make certain they are operating up to code on heaps levels.policies/procedures, OSHA sanctuary, standard of care, confidentiality, etc.they come to hospitals more or less every 3 years.and when they do, everyone scrambles to polish and shine the place and scrutinize our P's and Q's.it's very stressful. LOLNCQA (National Committee for Quality Assurance) is the committee that insures that health contemplation insurance plans (like HMOs and PPOs) are operating according to set standards.
One has a J and a H and an O. The other have a N and a Q. Other than that, they are very similar.
