Navigate the new 2000 Life Safety Coder with the only fire and life safety references completely dedicated to health care facilities The new 2000 Life Safety Coder brings significant challenge to health care Deciphering the requirements of the Life Safety Code and applying them to health care has always been a complicated and time-consuming process. And now, with both the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) adopting the 2000 Life Safety Code, there is added urgency for you to understand and comply with the new Code. Your JCAHO accreditation or Medicare certification hinges on it. Plus, the 2000 Life Safety Code has undergone a complete reorganization for the first time since 1981, and navigating through the revised Code is even more challenging. The good news? We're pleased to announce that the new editions of our popular guides to the Life Safety Code are now available. We brought you the only health care-specific references to walk you through the 1997 Life Safety Code, and now we have done it again with our new editions of the popular books: 2000 Life Safety Code Workbook & Study Guide for Health Care Facilities and 2000 Life Safety Code Field Guide for Health Care Facilities. Both the Field Guide and the Workbook & Study Guide draw 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 Code-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.
