The Joint Commission
The Joint Commission, an independent, nonprofit organization, accredits and certifies healthcare organizations across the United States, focusing on patient safety and healthcare facilities.
One of the Joint Commission’s standards specifically addresses the necessity for healthcare facilities to efficiently manage their electrical systems. The Standard EC.02.05.01, states that healthcare organizations must actively manage risks associated with their utility systems, including electrical systems, with the aim to minimize potential electrical shocks, burns, and fires.
Safeguard Patients, Staff, and Visitors
The goal of the Joint Commission standard is to safeguard patients, staff, and visitors from potential hazards associated with electricity. Electrical hazards in healthcare facilities can arise from a multitude of causes, including improper installation, faulty equipment, or inadequate maintenance.
Failure to comply with EC.02.05.01 can result in survey findings from The Joint Commission. Beyond potential survey findings, improper management of electrical systems can lead to serious injuries or even fatalities.
Enhance Safety Compliance
By implementing a comprehensive electrical management system like OneLine, healthcare facilities can not only manage their electrical systems more efficiently, but also leverage a powerful tool to support their efforts towards compliance with Joint Commission’s EC.02.05.01 standard. This integration plays a significant role in reducing the risk of electrical hazards, fostering a safer environment for patients and healthcare professionals.
