Tip of the week: Be prepared for surveyor review of emergency plans

Healthcare Security Weekly, April 16, 2007

On the final day of a Joint Commission survey in February at Doctors Hospital, a 281-bed acute-care facility in Coral Gables, FL, surveyors reviewed the hospital's emergency management plans. The meeting included Environment of Care program leaders, as well as an assortment of other staffers, all of whom participated in the proceedings.

Surveyors oversaw a tabletop disaster drill during the emergency management session that posed a hypothetical hurricane. To learn more about the survey, go to www.hcpro.com/ppv-68936.html. The cost is $10. Briefings on Hospital Safety subscribers received this story with their subscriptions.
