FOREWORD
This publication is designed to provide nursing administration a guide reference in managing nursing services. It also reflects the ANSAP’s deep commitment in improving the quality of patient care and management of nursing services in the Philippines. The development was actively participated by the Board of Nursing (PRC-BON) and the ANSAP’s Board of Directors and validated by the Chief Nurses/Nursing Directors who are also members of ANSAP. The initial draft was eventually reviewed and discussed by opinion leaders in focus group of experts. The final blueprint was presented to public hearing attended by key stakeholders around the country. This edition contains a complete set of standards presented in two major components namely; the Clinical and Administration management. Each component has five standards, criteria and measurable elements necessary to help organizations educate the staff. This edition is also a cross-reference to corresponding requirements set forth in the Philippines by ANSAP and the international accrediting body like Joint Commission International (JCI). We view that standards are continuously a work in progress. Hence, we welcome any comments and suggestions for improvement.
