Description

Are you a facility manager or an emergency management coordinator who needs Joint Commission standards that apply only to the physical environment, environment of care, life safety, or emergency planning—not the whole Comprehensive Accreditation Manual? Or do you work in a health care system or as a vendor and need to understand requirements and align compliance efforts across various sites or settings of care?

2025 Environment of Care® Essentials for Health Care bundles the Environment of Care (EC), Emergency Management (EM), and Life Safety (LS) standards and elements of performance (EPs) for all settings in one convenient reference. Equipment management (EQ) standards, which apply only to home care, are also included.

A simple matrix next to each requirement clearly identifies to which Joint Commission accreditation program(s) it applies.

New for the 2025 book:

  • • New and revised EM requirements for ambulatory care centers, office-based surgery practices, laboratories, and nursing care centers
