For healthcare facilities, reliable power is essential. To help ensure patient safety and maintain essential accreditations, facility managers must comply with a number of industry codes and regulations, including standards set by the Joint Commission. Formerly known as the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), the Joint Commission is the nation's oldest and largest standards-setting body in health care, accrediting more than 22,000 U.S. healthcare organizations and programs. To achieve Joint Commission accreditation, there are two key elements of performance (EPs) for electrical system and the emergency power system: EC.02.05.03 and EC.02.05.07.
