Life Safety (LS) (Nursing Care Center / Nursing Care Center)
Statement of Conditions - Responsibility to Maintain
Modify | April 11, 2016
Who is required to have direct access to the electronic Statement of Conditions?
LS.01.01.01 requires that the hospital assign an individual(s) to assess compliance with the Life Safety Code and manage the Statement of Conditions (SOC) when addressing survey-related deficiencies, therefore that person must be competent to perform those duties. Although The Joint Commission has no requirement for that responsible person to have direct access to the SOC and those duties can be performed in conjunction with a non-qualified person with access, direct access by the responsible person would provide an efficient method of maintaining on-going SOC accuracy. [LS.01.01.01]
