Talk:Deemed status

What a mess
I hardly understand what any of this means. I find no clear description of what this is. I am sure that this topic is broadly discussed but I cannot find a primer covering the basic terms used.  Blue Rasberry  (talk)  15:44, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Deemed status and Cleveland Clinic
There is a hospital accreditation system described by user:Patient 32 at Talk:Cleveland Clinic. That user proposes to discuss the accreditation of that hospital. In particular, Patient 32 talks about something called "deemed status", which is a certification that the hospital meets some standard.

I know nothing about hospital accreditation and hardly knew were to begin to learn more. I made this new Wikipedia article called deemed status as a start. The article right now is a jumble of information and sources. I am not even sure if that "deemed status" article should exist - perhaps it should be renamed "Hospital accreditation in the United States" and cover the entire process of accreditation including "deemed status", and not only "deemed status". In any case - it would be helpful that if any Wikipedia article about an individual hospital talked about its accreditation, then that hospital article should link to an explanation here about what the accreditation means and how it is granted  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  16:00, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
