New standards for pharmaceutical services in hospitals, recently approved by the Board of Commissioners of the Joint Commision of Accreditation of Hospitals (JCAH), are presented and compared with the previous standards. The efforts of the American Society of Hospital Pharmacists in working with JCAH to upgrade the pharmacy standards are reviewed. The new standards reflect progressive hospital pharmacy practice and focus of the hospital pharmacist's patient-care activities.
