On May 4, 2016, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) adopted the 2012 Life Safety Code for healthcare facilities receiving Medicare or Medicaid reimbursements, setting an effective date of July 5. Then on June 20, CMS issued a Survey & Certification memo indicating it would not survey to the new code until November 1 of this year, prompting questions about compliance, enforcement and inspection requirements.

Healthcare facilities should plan to be fully compliant with the new 2012 LSC by November 1, 2016. This means any new annual test or inspection requirements should be completed by then. Attend "The New 2012 Life Safety Code: What to Expect - and When" to understand the impact of the revised survey dates, changes to the code itself - including updates to fire doors, corridor widths, sprinkler system and generator testing and temporary construction barriers—and what advantages and workload increases to expect once the code is in effect.

Learning Objectives
  • Realize that CMS' final rule did not endorse everything in their proposed rule
  • Learn that there will be a delay in enforcing the new 2012 Life Safety Code by your Accreditation Organization
  • Understand that the new 2012 Life Safety Code will have changes that will affect how the facility is managed
  • Implement a plan to address those changes
