ASHE Senior Executive Director Dale Woodin, CHFM, FASHE, is urging all ASHE members to contact the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to ask them to protect wireless patient monitoring devices from harmful interference. Woodin said a proposal the FCC is considering may be the biggest challenge hospitals have faced in wireless patient monitoring. Although the immediate issue affects hospitals that use the WMTS spectrum space (Channel 37), the FCC is moving to share all spectrum space, so its decision on this issue is expected to affect all hospitals using wireless telemetry devices.

Jeff Rich, Facility Care
I’m often asked, "What is the most important step someone can take to reduce energy use?" Usually the request is intended to reveal a common nugget of truth that can be applied anywhere, in any facility, to get a dramatic improvement. The truth is, every building’s opportunities are unique, so the best opportunities for your facility will depend on a number of factors, such as building design, climate, internal processes, hours of occupancy, the price of energy, control systems, age of equipment, etc. Visit http://www.facilitycare.com/greening-healthcare/most-important-step-fm-can-take-reduce-energy-consumption to view the full article online. |

In the world above the ceiling tiles, out of sight can often mean out of mind. Facilities are always battling with compliance over their rated barriers. As required by LS.02.01.10, it is of the utmost importance for a healthcare facility to minimize the effects of fire, smoke and heat. While the code requires these barriers be maintained, it can be a daunting task because of the many services passing through these barriers.
