Webinar Level:

Webinar Purpose:

This series will not only familiarize participants with The Joint Commission’s Environment of Care® Standards for 2008 and beyond, but will also explain how to efficiently integrate the new standards into your existing program. Participants will receive an SMS, Inc. 2008 EC Toolbox™ – a CD-R with 27 sections covering the entire range of EC standards. This disk has over 500 sample data collection tools, forms, policies, procedures, reports, management plans, annual evaluations, tracers, survey preparation tools and much more. Participants are encouraged to take these survey-proven aids and use them in their respective facilities as templates for their survey presentation materials. The series will include the significant body of changes found in the Emergency Management section of the 2008 standards. New guidelines will be reviewed, including HICS & NIMSoriented elements, and participants will learn how to build a rock-solid EM program. Additionally, the presenters will revisit the Fire Safety (EC.5.10 – EC.5.50) requirements, and introduced even more tools and ideas for addressing the participation of The Joint Commission’s Life Safety Code Specialist Surveyor. Within the Fire Safety/Life Safety Code segment, the speakers will address the nuances of developing the Statement of Conditions™ (SOC™), and the technical specifications of complying with the electronic SOC (eSOC™) process. The series will review The Joint Commission's "Tracer Methodology" process and how facilities will need to account for it in their survey preparations. Emphasis will be made on how to apply practical solutions to the Joint Commission's requirements for the development and maintenance of Management Plans, Risk Assessments, Performance Measures, Annual Evaluations, Emergency Management/Disaster Preparedness, and Pre-Construction Risk Assessment (PCRA).

Webinar Objectives:

The primary objectives will be:

  • First – for the participants to come away with a set of strategies for how to obtain the best possible survey results, and
  • Second – that participants have a clear understanding of how to stay in compliance between their triennial surveys.
