It’s crucial for hospitals and health systems to ensure that their physical environments comply with The Joint Commission’s Environment of Care and Life Safety requirements. F1 MAPS interactive mapping can be used to ensure compliance and reduce the risk of unsafe environments or violations, here’s how:
Hospitals must maintain current and accurate drawings that clearly illustrate features of fire safety including fire-rated walls, fire doors, fire extinguishers, and egress routes as well as related square footage. The Statement of Conditions drawing (AutoCAD format) can be created as an annotation layer that is displayed on top of an F1 MAP when needed.
The work order management system, integrated with F1 MAPS, can be used to assign, prioritize, and track corrective maintenance work orders. It can also be used to store documentation of inspections and approvals made by state and local agencies. These documents can be easily scanned and stored in the system associated with the appropriate work order.
A preventive maintenance program can schedule a building assessment that the hospital performs to determine compliance with Life Safety regulations. Any deficiencies found can be defined and scheduled for repair or corrective action Reports can also be generated to show the status and history of repairs.
