and Study Guide for Health Care Facilities Please note: All healthcare facilities need to comply with the 2000 Life Safety Code, as this is the most current applicable code. Spiral-bound: 450 pages
Navigate the new 2000 Life Safety Code with this excellent fire and life safety reference completely dedicated to health care facilities. The 2000 Life Safety Code brought significant challenge to health care. The 2000 Life Safety Code underwent a complete reorganization, replacing the 1981 version. Many find the 2000 version more challenging than the 1981 ever was. Deciphering the requirements of the Life Safety Code and applying them to health care has always been a complicated and time-consuming process. Also, with both the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) having adopted the 2000 Life Safety Code, there is continuous urgency for you to understand and comply with this Code. Your JCAHO accreditation or Medicare certification depends on it. This Workbook & Study Guide draws from the experience and expertise of authors James K. Lathrop, former chief life safety engineer for the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and Jennifer L. Holloman, who provides life safety consulting services to a wide range of occupancies and conducts JCAHO Statement of Conditions consultations to health care facilities nationwide. The authors have done the work for you by interpreting, translating, and presenting the 2000 Life Safety Code in a clear and easy-to-follow format to make becoming familiar and comfortable with the Code effortless.
