The mark consists of the letters "MEDQIS" in which the "I" is represented by a stylized writing instrument stretching higher than the other letters down to below the other letters and touching upon a small black rectangle. The black rectangle upon which the stylized writing instrument terminates sits diagonally adjacent to an equally sized black rectangle containing a check mark. Both black rectangles are situated diagonal to the orientation of the mark words on a stylized piece of paper that is bordered on the lower corner of the page by a downward pointing black chevron. The words "QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN LONG TERM CARE" are displayed using smaller letters than "MEDQIS", beneath the letters "MED" and partially "Q", and to the left of the chevron-bordered black rectangles.
