How does the JCAHO Guide Work?
JCAHO standards address an organization’s performance in key functional areas. Each standard is presented as a series of "Elements of Performance" (EP) -- expectations that establish the broad framework that JCAHO surveyors use to evaluate a facility's performance.
Many of the environmentally relevant Elements of Performance fall under the Environment of Care (EC) standard, but others are included in the Human Resources (HR) and Leadership (LD) standards.
The Guide relates each JCAHO Element of Performance to specific federal regulations, to help facilities be in compliance with both.

H2E Waste Management System
• Excel spreadsheet to assist hospitals track waste data – solid, hazardous, recyclable, regulated medical
• Currently being piloted with hospitals
• Register for this FREE tool at http://www.hercenter.org/wms.html

Analyze Your Waste Streams
• List all categories and subcategories of a specific waste stream
• Determine who is responsible for each waste stream category – who manages it and who pays the bills
• Use waste bills to calculate the amount (weight or volume) and cost of each waste stream

Why Collect Waste Data?
• Helps set priorities for waste reduction• Establishes baseline to measure
success• Helps identify potential cost reductions• Helps identify procurement priorities• Provides justification for your programs
