The Kentucky Society for Healthcare Engineers is hosting a special event on December 7 featuring John Maurer with The Joint Commission and Sharon S. Gilyeat with Koffel Associates where participants will take a deep dive into the current code updates and standards that impact hospital facility managers and engineers in Kentucky.

Major changes  from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have resulted in new and expanded accreditation requirements, and the Joint Commission has just released a number of new standards for 2018. This event will provide insight into how to address these changes.

This will be one of John D. Maurer's first Joint Commission update presentations since becoming director of the accrediting organization. Sharon Gilyeat will provide valuable Life Safety code and compliance updates to help ensure your organization's success.
