Description:
Makes the Health Care Physical Environment Easy to Understand! The 4th edition of this best-selling guide provides the answers to the who, what, when, where, and why of The Joint Commission's Environment of Care (EC) standards. Health care facilities management can be complex, but this updated guide makes it easy to understand and to comply with EC standards. This guide is perfect for new health care facilities managers, safety engineers, and Joint Commission accreditation professionals, and it is just what health care organization leaders need to understand all the concepts, terms, and jargon. Readers of previous editions have praised the book's "translation" of the language of health care facilities management for those new to the field and for those who need to support health care facilities professionals and "speak their language." Available in hard copy or as an individual e-book or digital site license, EC Made Easy applies to all Joint Commission accreditation programs. It presents key concepts, standards, compliance challenges, and codes in clear, concise language in a colorful, easy-to-follow format. Dozens of tools that reflect and reinforce the core content are available for download. This book also explains how The Joint Commission's EC standards are surveyed for compliance by Joint Commission surveyors and demystifies the survey process, the scoring methodology, and accreditation policies and procedures pertaining to the health care environment. The Joint Commission's physical environment standards are among the most challenging with which health care organizations must comply, based on how frequently they are cited by surveyors as deficient-and this book simplifies those concepts. Please note that this new edition focuses only on the EC standards (not the LS and EM standards); check out JCR's new titles for Life Safety and Emergency Management standards compliance.
