In this session we will outline a strategy that can be implemented to increase electrical safety in the healthcare environment and ensure the safety of patients, staff and electrical workers. We’ll walk through the electrical safety roadmap from pre-design through installation and post-installation, reviewing strategies to make cost-effective decisions while staying compliant with applicable codes and standards.

This course will walk participants through site acceptance and in-service testing and will review best practices that will empower facility owners and managers to administer appropriate test strategies and service programs to maintain a reliable power system.

Breaking a health care facility into subcategories can help to simplify the master planning process. This outline provides a list subcategories that health care organizations can use as a starting point as they customize their own plans.

in this session we will explore the unintended consequences of having so many sinks. We will explore the dynamics of transmission from patient to drain and back to patient. We will present the current understanding of the problem, assess challenges created by antibiotic resistant bacteria in wastewater premise plumbing and explore potential solutions.

In this webinar, the presenters will review current and proposed CMS/TJC requirements in the context of ASHRAE 188 and will discuss practical implications of the proposed new TJC/CMS requirements for healthcare facilities.
