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.
