The Joint Commission was formed in 1951 to evaluate an organization's compliance with their standards that focus on improving the quality and safety of care provided by health care organizations.  The voluntary accreditation process takes six months to complete.  It involves on-site inspections, interviews and documentation reviews to measure the quality of medical service.  Joint Commission accreditation is valid for three years during which unannounced inspections may occur at any time.

Alliance Imaging was the first national provider of shared imaging services to be awarded accreditation by the Joint Commission in 1998.  This accreditation reflects the Company's commitment to clinical quality and patient care. 

Joint Commission accreditation is valid for three years.  Alliance Imaging's regional operations underwent their initial Joint Commission inspections for our diagnostic imaging facilities beginning in December 1997 and continuing through March 1999.  Regional re-accreditation took place during the spring of 2002 and again in the spring of 2005.

The public may contact the Joint Commission's Office to report any concerns or register complaints that the organization has not addressed, and any team member who has concerns about the safety or quality of care provided may contact the Joint Commission by either calling 800.994.6610 or emailing This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it .  To learn more visit the Joint Commission website at www.jointcommission.org.
