Health Facility Corridor Width Requirements
CMS has revised its survey and certification guidance on corridor width requirements associated with the installation of wall-mounted computer touch screens (commonly used to input medical records) in health care facilities. CMS notes that since its last guidance on this issue six years ago, science and technology in this areas have advanced, expanding the use and variety of these devices. In response to inquiries, CMS has adopted new specifications for wall-mounted technologies and other wall mounted items for all health care facilities, effective immediately.
