Accreditation In Health Care

The Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) and The Joint Commission grew out of a movement, which recognized the need to identify and measure quality health care in the United States.

Dignity is a complex concept but is a central nursing value. Nursing care should be delivered in a way that respects the uniqueness and dignity of each patient regardless of their culture or religion.
