2026 context, with the right limits.
Hospitals and critical access hospitals no longer need several former Environment of Care management plans, but fire response, water management, and emergency operations plans remain evaluated. Do not discard useful operating plans or assume these changes apply to ambulatory programs. Read Health Facilities Management’s June 2026 explanation ↗.
Use the current manual for your accreditation program, the facility’s policies, and its assigned leadership responsibilities when defining work.
