Support 2012 Adoption
ASHE Strategic Imperative - Unified Codes
While regulations are a critical part of keeping patients, staff, and visitors safe, current codes and standards still have much room for improvement.
ASHE is working to improve outdated codes, conflicting codes, codes not based on science, and inappropriate code interpretations.

Why do we use consensus codes?OMB Circular A-119 (1998) intended to: 1. Encourage federal agencies to benefit from
the expertise of the private sector2. Promote federal agency participation in such
bodies to ensure creation of standards that federal agencies can use
3. Reduce reliance on government-unique standards where an existing voluntary standard would suffice

Making Comments
The comment process is not a vote – one well-supported comment is often more influential than a thousand form letters. This is not a “Me Too!” vote Duplicating comments by others lessens
the value of both comments
