Proactive Construction Risk Assessment and Management (PCRAM)© - Does your Facility Meet JCAHO Standards?



Healthcare construction projects pose risks to patients, staff, and visitors. Identification and management of the specific risks created by each construction project is not only good business it is a requirement of the JCAHO Environment of Care standards.

This audio conference presents a comprehensive approach to assessing and managing construction related risks. The PCRAM © approach is designed to evaluate environmental, occupational, infection control, life safety, and other risks during the design phase of a construction and to manage the identified risks for the full duration of the project.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Participants will be able to describe all the elements of a proactive construction risk assessment and management process as required by the JCAHO
  2. Participants will be able to apply both the assessment and management phases of the PCRAM © process using techniques described during the audio conference and illustrated by handout examples
