Buy the CD The Joint Commission is preparing to make some major changes to the Life Safety Code portion of its survey beginning in 2008. It’s adding an LSC surveyor for hospitals with fewer than 200 beds and extending the LSC survey to two days for hospitals with 750,000 or more square feet – changes spurred by what the Joint Commission calls its “continuing scrutiny of Environment of Care requirements.”

This increased scrutiny can boost your chances of getting dinged if you aren’t ready. Former Joint Commission surveyor LeRoy Deabler will help you prepare for the Life Safety survey, whether it is your first time with an LSC surveyor or if you’ve been through the process before.
