TJC Addresses CMS Categorical Waivers


 
By David Stymiest, PE CHFM CHSP FASHE

 ASHE recently discussed in its Listserv TJC’s response to the CMS categorical waivers.

According to ASHE, TJC requested that organizations indicate in the eBBI’s Additional Comments field the acceptance of any categorical waivers as well as so noting those decisions in the EOC Committee minutes. TJC Life Safety Code surveyors will field-verify that the CMS conditions are being met for any accepted waiver, similarly to the CMS onsite field-verification approach.
