(Oct. 30, 2026) – The Kansas Department of Health & Environment’s Bureau of Facility and Licensing shared a
Hospital Emergency Preparedness Facility Checklist with the Kansas Hospital Association. During a Life Safety Code survey, either separately or as part of a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services re-certification survey, the surveyors will request information regarding your emergency preparedness plan and program. They will anticipate that the information will be provided to them within a few hours of request and that the core elements in the checklist will be met. This document and other survey readiness resources can be found on the
Regulatory page of the KHA website. Please contact Larry Van Der Wege at
lvanderwege@kha-net.org with any questions.
