Critical Electrical Issues in Long-Term Care: Patient Care Related Electrical Testing Requirements

(PCREE)

Webinar

Ensuring compliance with the NFPA 99: Health Care Facilities Code (2012 edition) is a foundational requirement for all nursing facilities. However, long-term care providers throughout Indiana are seeing a marked increase in electrical-related deficiencies, making this an urgent area of focus for facility leaders and maintenance teams.. As electrical systems continue to age and regulatory expectations become more rigorous, facilities must strengthen their understanding of the code and its practical application in patient care environments.

This comprehensive webinar will explore the one of the most pressing electrical compliance issues facing long-term care facilities today, with a particular emphasis on patient care–related electrical testing (PCREE) and documentation. Kenn Daily, Life Safety expert review the expectations of  NFPA 99 system categories, risk assessments, PCREE testing requirements, and common pitfalls identified. The session will also address how electrical safety directly impacts resident care, operational reliability, and overall life safety compliance.

Through real-world examples, regulatory guidance, and best-practice recommendations, this course equips attendees with the knowledge needed to proactively identify vulnerabilities, implement corrective actions, and enhance the safety and resilience of their facility’s electrical infrastructure. This training is ideal for facility managers, maintenance personnel, clinical leaders, safety officers, and anyone responsible for ensuring electrical compliance in a long-term care setting.
