Three useful CMS links regarding the Life Safety Code
Hi everyone, it's Scott Wallask over at HCPro jumping into the blog today. I thought it might be a good idea to give everyone a trio of links that I've found very helpful over the years when it comes to tracking CMS developments with the Life Safety Code (LSC).
1. LSC page. This gives an overview of CMS' enforcement of LSC provisions for hospitals, nursing homes, ambulatory surgical centers, and other medical settings.
2. Downloads of CMS forms. The fire safety forms fall under the 2786 series of forms, to which you can scroll down or search for by typing in "2786," which will then open a zip file.
3. Memos to state agencies. These memos outline CMS rulings or interpretations of LSC requirements and are useful documents to have handy before and during inspections. You'll see they've already been busy with two postings from January. You may need to play with the sorting tool to view the most recent posts. www.cms.hhs.gov/SurveyCertificationGenInfo/PMSR/list.asp#TopOfPage
Thanks,
Scott W.
p.s. It’s not too late to join us in Las Vegas for the Second Annual Hospital Safety Symposium. Caesars Palace is calling your name . . .
