Cost of Accreditation
JCI publishes an average fee of US$ 46,000 for a full hospital survey. Reimbursement for surveyors' travel, living expenses and accommodations is required in addition to the fee.
There may be additional costs related to consultancy work etc. directed towards assisting a hospital to be successful in the accreditation process.
Other international accreditors incur different levels of costs, some costing less than JCI.

Famous quotes containing the words cost of and/or cost:
“To become a token woman—whether you win the Nobel Prize or merely get tenure at the cost of denying your sisters—is to become something less than a man ... since men are loyal at least to their own world-view, their laws of brotherhood and self-interest.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Life! Life! Don’t let us go to life for our fulfilment or our experience. It is a thing narrowed by circumstances, incoherent in its utterance, and without that fine correspondence of form and spirit which is the only thing that can satisfy the artistic and critical temperament. It makes us pay too high a price for its wares, and we purchase the meanest of its secrets at a cost that is monstrous and infinite.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
