Tip of the week: Get familiar with 2009 standards
Healthcare Security Weekly, August 25, 2008
The Joint Commission’s revised EC standards and new life safety and emergency management (EM) chapters take effect January 1, 2009, which doesn’t leave a lot of time for safety committees to digest and incorporate the updates.
Security directors should take the time to read the new standards, including the safety and security section found in the new EM chapter of the Comprehensive Accreditation Manual for Hospitals. That may seem like obvious advice, but it could take time to go through the changes, which in a busy workday isn’t always easy to schedule.
To read more about the standard changes, go to www.hcpro.com/ppv-216675.html. The cost is $10. Briefings on Hospital Safety subscribers received this story with their subscriptions.
