The documentation mandated by the Hospital and Critical Access Hospital accreditation programs for Life Safety (LS) and specific Environment of Care (EC) standards is meticulously outlined in the Joint Commission accompanying Document List and Review Tool.
This invaluable resource is designed to aid accredited organizations in maintaining continuous compliance and ensuring readiness for surveys. It's essential to note that in order to facilitate a comprehensive and streamlined assessment of your facility, it is imperative that your organization assigns staff members who are readily available to assist the Life Safety Surveyor upon their arrival. This proactive approach ensures efficient cooperation and enables a thorough review of the documentation, thereby enhancing the overall survey process and promoting adherence to accreditation standards.
