Two new rules that would update fire safety and emergency preparedness standards for healthcare facilities are being reviewed, according to an article on the McKnights website.
The rules, which the Office of Management and Budget recently began reviewing, would amend safety requirements for any healthcare facility that receives Medicare or Medicaid funding.
One rule would require facilities to have plans in place for both natural and manmade disasters that align with Federal, State, regional and local emergency systems.
The second rule would update fire safety guidelines for healthcare facilities in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association's 2012 Life Safety Code.
