symbol of quality that indicates this organization
is committed to the highest level of

health care organizations voluntarily undergo
a Joint Commission evaluation in order

nurses, and representatives of national
health care organizations to review the current
standards for care, and make recommendations
for additions and improvements
to the requirements.
