Healthcare Institutions Can Now Stay Confidently Up-to-Date with New Regulatory Compliance Calendar
NEEDHAM, Mass., March 17 /-- Healthcare institutions often struggle with the numerous and complex regulatory requirements. To help save time, avoid expensive fines, and prevent an adverse Joint Commission accreditation decision, Environmental Health & Engineering (EH&E) has designed an automated management solution for the Environment of Care regulatory compliance program.
"The Regulatory Compliance Calendar is a customized, web-based management resource developed and implemented by EH&E's regulatory experts. Our staff review the specific regulatory requirements for each institution, determine the tasks associated with each, assign responsible parties, and then design the calendar, client dashboard, and automated alerts system to suit the hospital," said Bryan Connors, Healthcare Practice Leader at EH&E. "We designed this system to ensure continuous compliance while minimizing staff documentation requirements."
The new Regulatory Compliance Calendar with expert service establishes a solid compliance baseline, and then ensures continuous compliance through a very visible system of email alerts (even to outside vendors) and status reports. Administrators can verify that compliance deadlines are met in seconds without the need to ask multiple managers to generate status reports. With the Regulatory Compliance Calendar, managers and administrators never have to wonder if deadlines are being met.
The Regulatory Compliance Calendar addresses the unique compliance, documentation, and permitting needs for a wide range of complex regulatory requirements, including:
-- EPA Regulations, such as Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know (EPCRA or SARA Title III); Clean Air Act (CAA); Clean Water Act (CWA); Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (hazardous waste management/RCRA); and Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
-- OSHA requirements, such as training, safety policy and procedure reviews, and exposure monitoring requirements.
-- Joint Commission standards, such as key environment of care (EC) planning, risk assessments, and documentation requirements.
-- State regulations, such as contingency planning compliance, water and waste water permits and compliance tasks, storage tank permits and compliance tasks, asbestos guidelines and standards, and hazardous materials releases.
-- Local Regulations, such as special permits/variances and environmental code compliance.
"With the Regulatory Compliance Calendar, hospitals can both gain control of their compliance program and minimize the internal efforts required to maintain and document compliance going forward," said Connors.
