For a health care professional involved in the management and oversight of an organization's physical facilities, regulatory compliance can seem like an unapproachable mountain — full of shadows, pitfalls and unseen threats. Facilities must comply with a variety of local, state and federal codes and standards, adopted and managed by authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs). Failing to do so can result in various penalties for noncompliance, which can disrupt an organization's finances, its reputation or its ability to operate. Regulations exist for a reason — to save lives, improve patient outcomes and ensure a consistently safe environment for patients, staff, visitors and all others who enter a health care campus. The stakes of success in health care compliance are high.
Understanding Health Care Compliance: The Facilities Manager's Handbook provides readers with a high-level view of compliance and a sense of clarity in charting their organization's path to safe and high-functioning facilities. Readers will develop focus and confidence in the skills needed to lead a team in a proactive approach to codes and standards, even when a facility's compliance needs seem to be in competition with one another. The primary goal of a health care organization is to get the best outcomes possible for its patients. Facilities are a central part of that mission — with the care environment directly impacting patient safety and care quality. This handbook teaches readers not just how to be compliant, but how to leverage compliance efforts to maximize operational efficiency and quality of care in their health care facilities.
