"Fundamentals of Health Care Renovation and Construction" - April 19 ISHE Purdue Education Event
New and veteran healthcare facility employees will gain helpful information from ISHE's "Fundamentals of Health Care Renovation and Construction" education program April 19th at Purdue University. RSVP Now
Whether it is a new greenfield hospital project or renovation of an existing building, a construction project involving a health facility requires careful planning and diligent execution. This one-day seminar focuses on several fundamental topics critical to a successful project including:
- Safety and comfort of patients that might be impacted by the project.
- Compliance with codes and standards, including NFPA 101, NFPA 99 and the Guidelines for the Design and Construction of Health Care Facilities. Some of the requirements that are new or that have changed in the 2012 edition of NFA 101 and NFPA 99 will be discussed.
- Environmental infection prevention assessment and mitigation measures.
- Mechanical and electrical systems including medical gas, HVAC and the Essential Electrical System.

Documentation Requirement for Safety Officer Appointment
Joint Commission EC.01.01.01 EP 1 states: "Leaders identify an individual(s) to manage risk, coordinate risk reduction activities in the physical environment, collect deficiency information, and disseminate summaries of actions and results". Is it still required that the hospital have a letter, signed by leadership, that appoints the Safety Officer since this EP does not have a "D" indicating documentation is required? ASHE Director, Professional Growth, Tim Adams, FASHE, CHFM, CHC explains the issue in this short "Just Ask ASHE" video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-i9YvztIPSg
