Sorry but I meant to include the sources I've already searched... I've looked at the JCAHO Website (www.jcaho.org) and the 2004 Comprehensive Accreditation Manual for Hospitals: the Official Handbook. On the Website, I used the search terms "patient education" and "patient and family education." I've also read over the FAQs for accreditation standards for hospitals, for ambulatory care, and for health care networks. Any assistance or pointers to sources would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again. Craig S. Cruz Jr. Systems Librarian Krames Health Science Library Krames Health and Safety Ph. 1-650-244-4532 Fax 1-650-244-4345
