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.

“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)
“It breedeth no small offence and scandal to see and consider upon the one part the curiosity and cost bestowed by all sorts of men upon their private houses; and on the other part the unclean and negligent order and spare keeping of the houses of prayer by permitting open decays and ruins of coverings of walls and windows, and by appointing unmeet and unseemly tables with foul cloths for the communion of the sacrament.”
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
