CMS, Joint Commission adopt 2012 NFPA 101 Life Safety Code
Editor's Note
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and Joint Commission on July 5 will begin using the 2012 version of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 101 Life Safety Code in their accreditation surveys.
The final CMS rule requires hospitals to follow the 2012 version of the Life Safety Code and the 2012 edition of the NFPA 99 Health Care Facilities Code referenced in the Life Safety Code.
The Joint Commission noted in a May 11 report that it has been advocating for this change for years.
