    In 1910, Ernest A. Codman, M.D., realized that many health care providers were practicing medicine that was not in their scope of training. Codman then “proposed the end result system of hospital standardization. Codman thought that if hospitals were to track every patient and the patient were treated long enough it could be determined whether the treatment was effective and use the results to improve care” (2010, A Circular Century, p. 26). In 1913, the American College of Surgeons (ACS) was created and by 1918, the American College of Surgeons completed the first round of inspection of hospitals. When this was done the ACS found that only 89 out of 692 hospitals were meeting the minimum standards required. In 1951, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals was founded as a nonprofit organization (The Joint Commission, 2010).

    "A Healing Hospital is a hospital that employs healthy role models who teach health improvement, offers a healing environment and also leads community health improvement instead of just focusing on illness care and rescue care. A Healing Hospital focuses on healing and becomes an active member in fixing the healthcare system because they lower the need for costly, invasive care by improving health" (Harmony Healing House 2013). The healing hospital paradigm focuses on a holistic approach in caring for patients. Healing a patient and curing a patient may seem to be the same thing, however curing a patient focusing on fixing the problem or eradicating the illness or disease. Healing on the other hand is about helping the patient be at peace regardless of their disease. It is about promoting a balance with the person 's body, mind and spirit. This kind of environment helps reduce anxiety and stress that can positively affect a patient health.…
