Hospital Safety Symposium coverage: Oh where oh where is EC.4.19?

This morning at the Hospital Safety Symposium, we were briefly discussing EC.4.19 in the emergency management standards. As you probably know, EC.4.19 doesn’t exist--the standards jump from EC.4.18 to EC.4.20 in the hospital accreditation manual.

While I don’t know any official reasons, I suspect EC.4.19 was kept "open" to leave room for expansion. But given that the emergency management standards will change their numbers (again) in 2009, I don’t suppose it really matters about EC.4.19 in the long run.
