Anyone have any other ideas on how to cite from the JCAHO Accrediation
Standards? Here is the question I got and I have not found anything.

Thanks

Cindy:

I am trying to locate the correct way to cite The Joint Commission
Hospital Accreditation Standards Manual for our policy and procedures
references.  The manual reference would have a Chapter followed by a
Standard that may include an Element of Performance.  For example:
Provision of Care, Treatment, and Services (Chapter) Standard 12.110 and
Element of Performance 3. 

I thinking it would be: 
The Joint Commission Hospital Accreditation Standards.2008;
PC12.110.3.
But I cannot find any similar citations.  I have an inquiry out to the
joint commission but thought you might be able to help.

What do you think?
