Tip of the week: Expect scrutiny on 96-hour prep work
Healthcare Security Weekly, July 14, 2008
Midland (TX) Memorial Hospital underwent a Joint Commission (formerly JCAHO) life safety survey in March, which included a successful emergency preparedness session.
There was a lot of discussion and questioning about the 96-hour provision under standard EC.4.12, which requires hospitals to assess their ability to stand alone without community support for at least 96 hours during a catastrophe. A committee at the hospital had written a plan determining how the hospital would attempt to keep running for three days during various disaster scenarios, says Deric Hebert, CHFM, director of facility services.
