Update 2010 - What's new at the Joint Commission for the Environment of Care, Life Safety, and Emergency Management Standards
This program will present an overview of the 2010 Joint Commission standards and survey process that address management of the physical environment. There are few changes in the standards and the survey process. The key issues for 2010 surveys include having a management process in place to maintain “survey ready” compliance at all times, understanding the survey scoring system, and managing the initial findings by a survey team.
The focus of the program will be on developing a stable, sustainable approach to maintaining Joint Commission compliance. A decade into the unannounced and tracer survey processes many organizations still have not developed such a process. Participants will learn how to prepare document sets for survey, which documents are the “Must Haves”, what the heavy hitters are during the general survey and the survey activities of the Life Safety Specialists.
Learning Objectives:
- Develop an awareness of the changes the Joint Commission has made in the 2010 standards that address the physical environment.
- Gain a clear understanding of the impact of CMS on the Joint Commission standards and survey process.
- Introduce a working model that can be used to build and maintain survey readiness.
