What’s in each issue

  • The month in numbers: electrical Life Safety Code citations newly published by CMS, by tag and by state, including yours.
  • Incident file: real fires, power failures and device recalls in long-term care, with sources, and what to check in your own building.
  • Regulatory watch: new CMS memos and code changes that affect electrical safety, or a plain “nothing changed.”
  • Practice of the month: one concrete fix you can make before your next survey.
  • Tool of the month: a free worksheet, kit or lookup from this site.
  • Survey calendar: what is coming up and when surveys tend to peak.

Watch your buildings

Subscribers can also watch specific buildings. Look up a facility in the survey-risk lookup and choose “Watch this building.” We’ll email you when CMS publishes a new electrical citation for it or when its estimated survey window opens.

Past issues

Statistics come from public CMS data. Incidents and recalls link to their original sources. PCREE Test is not affiliated with CMS.
