Hello Lactnetters, It was mentioned previously in posts that JCAHO has recommendations for hospital lactation consultants. I have not been able to find these on their website. I also emailed them for informations and the reply I got said "JCAHO has no standards or recommendations for lactation consultant staffing in hospital OB units. That would be each hospitals decision. The specific qualifications for staff and job description would also be defined by each hospital in accordance with law and regulation." Can anyone clarify this for me.? Any one have some publication with this information? I would like this information to create a job proposal/ seek employment at my local hospital.
