The Joint Commission (TJC) published a new Emergency Management Health Care Environment Checklist on its website to help healthcare organizations reopen after a disaster, according to an article on the HCPro website.
The checklist was developed at the request of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services’ Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response.
The list covers clinical and environmental issues, and addresses post-disaster elements that need addressing before reopening.
A TJC official urges hospitals to customize the list based on community, regional and state relationships.
