This identifier is transmitted to the Joint Commission instead of the Joint Commission’s Health Care Organization Identifier (HCO ID) to ensure that the data is completely anonymous within the Joint Commission’s Data Warehouse. Only those individuals within the Division of Research that need to know the identity of a specific hospital will have access to this crosswalk information.
