In 2002, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) implemented Disease-Specific Care (DSC) certification. This is a voluntary program in which organizations have their disease management program evaluated by this regulatory agency. Some of the DSC categories are stroke, heart failure, acute MI, diabetes, and pneumonia. The criteria for any disease management program certification are: compliance with consensus-based national standards, effective use of established clinical practice guidelines to manage and optimize care, and an organized approach to performance measurement and improvement activities. Successful accomplishment of DSC certification defines organizations as Centers of Excellence in management of that particular disease. This article will review general guidelines for DSC certification with an emphasis on Primary Stroke Center certification.
2002年，医疗保健机构认证联合委员会（JCAHO）实施了特定疾病护理（DSC）认证。这是一个自愿参与的项目，在此项目中，各机构的疾病管理项目由该监管机构进行评估。部分DSC类别包括中风、心力衰竭、急性心肌梗死、糖尿病和肺炎。任何疾病管理项目认证的标准为：符合基于共识的国家标准、有效运用既定的临床实践指南来管理和优化护理，以及采用有条理的方法进行绩效评估和改进活动。成功获得DSC认证意味着该机构被定义为特定疾病管理方面的卓越中心。本文将回顾DSC认证的一般指南，重点是初级中风中心认证。
