Description
This session sponsored by Specified Technologies Inc.
This session will provide a detailed look at the many codes and standards that health care engineers must be familiar with to have a successful, code-compliant facility. We will highlight priority areas by citing specific codes (for example, NFPA 101: Life Safety Code®, NFPA 99: Health Care Facilities Code, and the FGI Guidelines for Design and Construction), providing information that will allow attendees to return to complete a thorough readiness assessment for their organizations. This session will enable you to—
• Identify key information from the codes and standards that affect health care.
• Describe several strategies to determine an organization’s readiness for regulatory visits.
