What The Joint Commission Center for Transforming Healthcare does
Mission
The Center for Transforming Healthcare was established to solve the most pressing quality and safety problems that are prevalent in health care today. (see Schedule O for continuation).
As stated on its FY2022 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2022 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
The Center was dissolved as of October 3, 2022. The Center was originally conceived in 2008 as a place where the Center could partner with other institutions or providers that were able to apply lean six sigma and high reliability concepts in an effort to address the problems in the U.S. healthcare system. In June 2022, The Center's Board of Directors determined that the administration and operation of The Center had become impractical because of the Endowment's small size. Also, The Center's lack of ability to become self-sustaining prevented the Center from fulfilling its charitable purposes. Pursuant to the resolution adopted by The Center's Board of Directors, most of the Center's assets were distributed to The Joint Commission. All revenue producing products were transferred to Joint Commission Resources, Inc.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).

$869,310 spent57% of program spendingPatient safety & quality program (high reliability health care) - high reliability health care refers to patient care that is consistently excellent and safe over long periods across all services and settings. The joint commission center for transforming health care developed the oro 2.0 high reliability organizational assessment to help hospitals reflect on 14 areas of performance that are critical aspects of the high reliability journey. The areas of performance are organized under three domains of change including leadership commitment to achieving the ultimate goal of zero patient harm, acting on this commitment by embedding a fully functional culture of safety throughout the organization, and promoting widespread deployment of highly effective process improvement tools. Oro 2.0 allows senior leaders in a hospital to self-assess their stage of maturity in 14 areas of performance that are critical for advancing from low to high reliability and the goal of zero preventable harm through a series of comprehensive reports that provide important information about organizational strengths, growth opportunities, and target areas. The continued use of oro 2.0 allows organizations to…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $40M to $0 (−100%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of The Joint Commission Center for Transforming Healthcare’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of The Joint Commission Center for Transforming Healthcare's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
