Special Feature! Includes online bonus information crosswalking The Joint Commission life safety standards and the NFPA Life Safety Coder Fire safety is so important in a health care setting that the Joint Commission has devoted a new standards chapter to it. The "Life Safety" Chapter is designed to make both life safety compliance and evaluation easier. It's structured to directly reflect the Life Safety Coder--the National Fire Protection Association's code to help organizations protect patients, staff, and visitors from threats posed by fire. And it's right in synch with the Joint Commission's Statement of Conditions (SOC), the tool through which organizations can create Plans for Improvement (PFIs) to address any deficiencies related to the Life Safety Code. The Life Safety Book: A Guide to Using the Joint Commission Life Safety Chapter and the Statement of Conditions helps organizations understand the relationship of the new "Life Safety" Chapter and the updated Statement of Conditions and effectively use them to ensure patient and staff protection from the risk of fire. This comprehensive guide to fire safety is invaluable for facility managers in ambulatory, behavioral, critical access hospital, hospital, long term care, and home care/hospice settings. Special Features: Explanation of the "Life Safety" Chapter and how it relates to the Life Safety Coder Occupancy-specific requirements of the Life Safety Coder How surveyors will use the "Life Safety" Chapter and the SOC during the survey Information on how to keep the SOC up-to-date and use it as a living process for facility management Information on Interim Life Safety Measures (ILSM) and the equivalency process to address fire safety deficiencies Plus Crosswalks between the Joint Commission life safety standards and the NFPA Life Safety Code The complete "Life Safety" Chapter for reference Step-by-step instructions on how to convert an existing spreadsheet to the SO

As the biomedical engineering field expands throughout the world, clinical engineers play an ever more important role as the translator between the worlds of the medical, engineering, and business professionals. They influence procedure and policy at research facilities, universities and private and government agencies including the Food and Drug Administration and the World Health Organization. Clinical engineers were key players in calming the hysteria over electrical safety in the 1970s and Y2K at the turn of the century and continue to work for medical safety. This title brings together all the important aspects of Clinical Engineering. It provides the reader with prospects for the future of clinical engineering as well as guidelines and standards for best practice around the world.
