Understanding Health Care Facility Safety Review



Health care organizations are diverse, depending on their country or region, but there are common safety threads everyone can follow.

In addition, you'll learn: how to meet the Facility Management and Safety (FMS) standards in the Joint Commission International Accreditation Standards for Hospitals; how to create an organizational plan to address the seven areas of FMS - safety, security, hazardous materials, emergencies, fire safety, medical equipment, and utility systems; and, tips and strategies for organizational risk assessment, information collection and evaluation, performance monitoring and improvement, orientation and education, and annual evaluation.
