23 ! Day One morning: Facility Orientation Main Fire Panel - Upon arrival by the surveyor, an escort will be needed to take him/her to the main fire alarm panel to verify that it is functional- check breaker. Tip for success: make sure you know location of electrical panel with the designated breaker for the fire alarm.
24 Day One morning: Facility Orientation Life Safety Plans - The surveyor will then meet with an organization staff member(s) to become oriented to the layout of the building. Areas Sprinklered (if not 100%) Hazardous Storage Rooms Fire Barriers Smoke Barriers Suites (both types), including size Smoke Compartments Chutes/shafts Approved Equivalencies or Waivers
25 Day One morning: Facility Orientation New May 2017 z Visit generators q Obtain name plate info, look for EPO z Visit fire pump room q Electric or diesel (Day tank at least 2/3 Full) q Spare Sprinkler Heads and Tools z Prior to the start of the building tour the 3 Q s Tip for success: Know the number and types of sprinklers so you can determine the number of spares needed.
26 Day One morning: Document Review z Paper or electronic, 90 minutes is the goal! z Same checklist the Life Safety Code Surveyors (LSCS)/Hospital use z Serves as Hospitals prep tool for survey mock review z Checklist has Standard, EP, Time frequency z Open book test Tip for success: q Organize testing document binder in same order as checklist q Close all open issues and place work order right behind report
27 Day One morning: Document Review Policies and procedures for Interim Life Safety Measures (ILSMs) Written fire response plan Evaluations of fire drills conducted for the past 12 months complete fire drill matrix Maintenance records for fire protection & suppression equipment Maintenance records for emergency power systems Maintenance records for piped medical gas and vacuum systems Tip for success: LSCS will use IOU if not readily available
28 Day One morning: Document List & Review Tool
29 Day One morning: Documentation Clarification z Any document not available at time of survey cannot be clarified post survey z Documents readily available z Reduce the volume of post-survey clarifications z Less time and resources spent after the survey
30 Day One morning: Fire Drill Matrix
31
32 Fire Drills - Tips Tip for success: z Reminder one drill per shift per quarter +/- 10 days z > 1 hour between drills (Best Practice: Vary days) z Number one location for fires in healthcare? Kitchen! z Place central station and FDC checks on fire drill form save time and money and eliminate missed annual and quarterly requirements.

39 Perspective z You are being evaluated on (HAP) 156 EP s EC 193 EP s LS 112 EP s EM z So using only EC and LS you are being evaluated on 349 EP s.! z Keep things in perspective!
40 SAFER Matrix
41 Survey Analysis For Evaluating Risk (SAFER) Matrix Immediate Threat to Life (follows current ITL processes) HIGH Likelihood to Harm a Patient/Visitor/Staff MODERATE LOW LIMITED PATTERN Scope WIDESPREAD
42 SAFER Scoring Example: LS Chapter STANDARD/EP: LS , EP2 OBSERVATION: In the laboratory storage room G111 was greater than fifty square feet in size and it contained combustible materials. The door serving this store room was not equipped with a door closure device. During the survey engineers installed a door closure device on this door.
43 Where does the finding belong? Based on the operational definitions, please place the finding in the area of the SAFER matrix you believe it goes. Immediate Threat to Life Likelihood to Harm a Patient/Staff/ Visitor HIGH MODERATE LOW LIMITED PATTERN WIDESPREAD Scope
44 Rationale z Policies require rooms storing combustible materials to have secure closure device. The room contained potentially dangerous materials that could cause harm directly, but would be more likely to cause harm as a contributing factor in the presence of other circumstances or additional failures; therefore, Moderate likelihood to harm z The door closure device for 1 storage room did not comply. This appears to be a unique occurrence, not representative of routine or regular practice thus Limited in scope
45 Scope Label WIDESPREAD Definition Deficiency is pervasive in the facility, or represents systemic failure, or has the potential to impact most/all patients, visitors, staff (5 or more) PATTERN Multiple occurrences of the deficiency, or a single occurrence that has the potential to impact more than a limited number of patients, visitors, staff (3 or 4) LIMITED Unique occurrence that is not representative of routine/regular practice, and has the potential to impact only one or a very limited number of patients, visitors, staff (1 or 2)
46 Likelihood to Harm Label Definition HIGH Harm could happen at any time MODERATE Harm could happen occasionally LOW Harm could happen, but would be rare

103 z Statement of Conditions - Update
104 Statement of Conditions - Terms BBI: Basic Building Information Sites are populated by eapp (electronic application) PFI: Plan For Improvement Extensions SPFI: Survey-Related Plan For Improvement TLW: Time Limited Waiver Equivalency: Traditional or FSES (Fire Safety Evaluation System) Ligature Facility Extension Request (LFER)
105 Statement of Conditions z All RFIs will have a 60 day ESC from the last day of survey. z If a National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Code, physical environment deficiency that is scored under EC or LS cannot be resolved within the 60 day ESC, no later than 30 days from the last day of survey the organization must submit for a SPFI and a TLW. If the organization is planning on submitting an Equivalency, the SPFI and TLW may be submitted prior to the submission of the Equivalency. The organization s SPFI and TLW request should consider the time to develop and approve an equivalency. Once the Joint Commission approves an equivalency it will be documented in the organization s History/Audit Trail and then sent to CMS for approval (if applicable).
106 Statement of Conditions z The organization does not need to have an approved SPFI or TLW for the ESC submission. They just need to be submitted. z Follow-up surveys need to either show: q The RFI has been corrected q A submitted SPFI and TLW z TLWs and Equivalencies are only sent to CMS for deemed status HCOs
107 Time Limited Waiver (TLW) z A Time Limited Waiver is a process to provide additional time to complete Life Safety Chapter corrective actions z Organizations that use Joint Commission accreditation for deemed status purposes are to follow this process: Create a Survey-related Plan For Improvement (SPFI) Enter the requested date in the Scheduled Completion Date field When prompted, complete the Time Limited Waiver form Submit to the Joint Commission z The Joint Commission will review and forward the request to the Regional Office for final decision z Non-deemed organizations: process same, stops at TJC
108 CMS & Equivalencies z Organizations that use Joint Commission accreditation for deemed status purposes: Survey-related equivalencies will continue to be submitted to our offices The Engineering staff will work with the organizations until the request is acceptable by both TJC and CMS RO CMS requires that an existing equivalency be recited and resubmitted at the triennial survey.
