Your Help Needed:
Share the New ISHE Membership Flyer
Here is a great excuse to get in touch with an old colleague or a new contact: Sharing the new ISHE membership flyer!
As you know, ISHE can help members improve their healthcare facilities while supporting their careers. It happens every meeting when presenters and members share healthcare facility information and tips.
At the cost of only $50/year for regular members or $200 for associate members (includes up to three employees), all of this is a bargain. We just need your help to get the word out.
Can you take a moment and send a quick email to three of your healthcare colleagues, clients, or suppliers, and share the ISHE membership flyer? Let them know about the upcoming presentation and tour of the new St. Vincent Fishers Hospital (info below) - then ask them to join today at www.isheweb.org!
Here is a link to the flyer so you can download it or share the link: http://www.isheweb.org/documents/ISHE-Membership-Benefits-Flyer.pdf.
Thank you for sharing the news about ISHE. Together, we can make all of our healthcare facilities better!

FGI Guidelines: Safety Risk Assessments Required In 2014 Edition
A patient safety risk assessment was introduced in the 2010 edition of the Guidelines for Design and Construction of Health Care Facilities, but it was a brief section in the appendix and therefore not a requirement. In 2014, hospital standards created by the Facility Guidelines Institute will require a safety risk assessment that includes an overarching risk identification process with considerations for infection control, patient handling, falls, medication safety, psychiatric injury, immobility, and security. The safety risk assessment is intended to contribute to the development of safe health care environments, as a new FGI article explains. The article is part of a series of upcoming pieces outlining changes in the 2014 Guidelines for Design and Construction of Hospitals and Outpatient Facilities.
