Special Feature! Includes online bonus information regarding The Joint Commission Life Safety standards and how to comply with them.
Fire safety is so important in a health care setting that the Joint Commission has devoted a new standards chapter to it. The “Life Safety” Chapter is designed to make both life safety compliance and evaluation easier. It’s structured to directly reflect the Life Safety Code®— the National Fire Protection Association’s code to help organizations protect patients, staff, and visitors from threats posed by fire. And it’s right in synch with the Joint Commission’s Statement of Conditions™ (SOC), the tool through which organizations can create Plans for Improvement (PFIs) to address any deficiencies related to the Life Safety Code.
The Life Safety Book: A Guide to Using the Joint Commission Life Safety Chapter and the Statement of Conditions™ helps organizations understand the relationship of the new Life Safety Standards and the updated SOC and effectively use them to ensure patient and staff protection from the risk of fire. This comprehensive guide to fire safety is invaluable for facility managers in ambulatory, behavioral, critical access hospital, hospital, long term care, and home care/hospice settings.
