I just heard that one of the accrediting organizations, maybe JCHAO is going to require the use of blue ink. The reason given was that copies are now hard to tell from originals and a blue ink signature will be easy to differentiate. Anyone else heard of this?

We just went through a JCAHO inspection and no one mentioned it but it would not surprise me if some one, some where dosen't come up with such a foolish idea. I'm lucky when I can keep pencils out of the department let alone regulate the color ink they are using.

I have not heard of such a requirement and would be surprised if they could pull that one off. But you have to admit, it would be a simple solution to distinguishing the copy form the original. Then the question would be...why is that important?
