Site surveyors and staff members preselected by the healthcare organization will conduct an informal, five-minute briefing to discuss any potential safety concerns — such as fires, an active shooter scenario or other emergencies — and how surveyors should react if safety plans are implemented while they are on site. 

 The change takes effect Jan. 1 and applies to all accreditation surveys performed by the organization.
