This one-day conference will provide valuable information for those responsible for managing the Emergency Management, Environment of Care and Life Safety programs within your hospitals and health system, as well as those who must understand Joint Commission Surveys and recent changes to the standards. Information will be provided so attendees can implement a practical, continuously compliant program to achieve maximum performance while effectively preparing for Joint Commission and Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services surveys. Attendees will also receive guidance to understand and interpret the most serious deficiencies commonly found in surveys in these areas. Sufficient time will be provided for questions and answers.
