Caregivers, and those who assist and support the caregivers in hospitals and healthcare institutions (facilities departments and engineering departments), are under constant pressure from regulators to create the optimum safe environment for both patient and staff. A facility’s choice in seating is no different, and believe it or not, a healthcare facility might easily get cited for choosing the wrong seating. This was the topic of an actual conversation a member of our sales team had with a long-time client who is a director of a major medical center in the Chicagoland area.

Healthcare inspectors are concerned with clutter in hospital hallways and other areas that must be kept accessible to fire alarms, medical gas alarms, emergency shut-off valves, and patient hook-ups in case of emergency and for the safety of caregivers and patients.

Violations by the accrediting agency (like The Joint Commission, for instance) or the AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) [a state or local department of health]) can be issued for one small oversight, often because NFPA and the “Environment of Care” (in the case of TJC) can be interpreted differently.

There has been a focus on reducing obstacles to these critical areas of care in healthcare institutions. A major concern is chairs used by hospital staff. Our line of Clarin by Hussey fixed seating offers a great solution to this regulation. Anchored to the floor, our nurse’s station, will not interfere with those critical areas, or other staff performing their duties.
