What's 'Jayco'?

Published

This week, the Joint Commission was at the hospital where I'm doing clinicals. The nurses kept referring to them as "Jay-co", and I assumed they were mispronoucing the acronym. But when I go to JCAHO's website, I see a "Jayco" login button. So is "Jayco" an insider thing, or does the Joint Commission refer to itself as that? I'm simply curious. I bet someone can enlighten me ... :)

JCAHO....it is an acronym, not pronounced exactly as the letters are listed, but we say "Jay-Co".

Apparently, the Joint Commission's picked it up, too, sort of like Federal Express going to FedEx because that's what everyone started calling it ...

Actually, if it's said slowly it would work: "Jay-Ca-Ho"
