Program Description:
This one-day program will provide valuable information for individuals who are responsible for creating Joint Commission updates, FGI Guidelines, updates, Construction Safety, ASHE Updates, ASHE Energy to Care Updates, Chapter Updates, and Life Safety programs, in addition to understanding the Joint Commission survey’s methodology and changes to the standards. Information will be provided so attendees will be able to implement a practical and compliant program for healthcare facilities. This information will enable maximum performance, while effectively preparing for unscheduled new Joint Commission and CMS surveys.

Practical examples will include an explanation of “best practices” that will help you move your own program to the top and guarantee success. Handout materials will include scoring sheets and survey checklists as well as forms, worksheets and sample policies that can be easily adapted to your own program. Sufficient time will also be provided during each section for questions and discussion.
