EPSS RELIABILITY PLANS
Plan A – Risk Assessment for compliance with the most stringent of
Regulations, Codes and NFPA Standards (Only 4.5% of all hospitals are totally
compliant with plan A)
Plan B – Redundancy of all EPSS components (elimination of single points of
failure – and there are many),
Plan C – Failure of all outside services - N+2 Mind Set (Added
redundancy).(Fuel – Parts – Communication – Water) Portable Sets; Multiple
Vendors; Tankage

PUNISHMENT OF THE INNOCENT
Consumer Reports in October, 2014 stated:
“Emergency Generators Don’t Always Work
When They Are Needed Most”
“The good news is that sustained generator failures are rare. The American Society
for Healthcare Engineering recently surveyed 1,558 members about utility failures
from July 1, 2011, to June 30, 2014. The 258 respondents reported an average of
one power outage per year. During power failures, the emergency electrical system
was successful 98.65 percent of the time.”
7
PUNISHMENT OF THE INNOCENT
The AHA published in Fast Facts on US Hospitals (last and
latest update in January 2013) that 5,724 “Registered”
hospitals, as defined by the AHA, existed in the US.
98.65% = 5,647
01.35% = 77
Will the 98.65% be punished similar to, or worse than, how
they were treated after Katrina?

SANDY APPEARS TO HAVE CREATED AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR NEW STANDARDS
Daniel R. Levinson, Inspector General,
Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS) published a paper entitled: HOSPITAL
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE
DURING SUPERSTORM SANDY
(September 2014, OEI-06-13-00260)
9
HHS
“We surveyed 174 Medicare-certified hospitals
located in declared disaster areas in Connecticut,
New Jersey, and New York during Superstorm Sandy.”
“Prior to the storm, most hospitals received
emergency-related deficiency citations from hospital
surveyors”
10
DECLARED DISASTER AREAS
11
HHS REPORT
“Utility systems found deficient, such as routine testing of
generators. Surveyors cited 47 hospitals for emergency deficiencies
that related to their utility systems, a prominent challenge reported
by hospitals during Sandy. Many of these deficiencies involved
infrequent testing or incorrect testing of the hospital backup
generator
Other deficiencies related to infrequent testing or lack of emergency
lighting systems. As noted earlier, 69 hospitals reported challenges
with their electrical utilities that either required use of emergency
power or placed them at risk of requiring its use. “
12
HHS REPORT
“Widespread power outages forced hospitals to
rely on backup generators and use alternative
procedures when delivering care to patients. Of
hospitals in declared disaster areas, 69
reported experiencing electrical utility outages,
and for more than two-thirds of these hospitals
(28 of 69), backup generators were not a
reliable power source.”
13
WHAT HHS RECOMMENDS
“The experiences of hospitals during Superstorm Sandy and the
deficiencies cited prior to the storm reveal gaps in emergency planning and
execution that might be applicable to hospitals nationwide. Given that
insufficient community-wide coordination among affected entities was a
common thread through the challenges identified by hospital
administrators, we recommend that the Office of the Assistant Secretary
for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) continue to promote Federal,
State, and community collaboration in major disasters. We also
recommend that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
examine existing policies and provide guidance regarding flexibility for
reimbursement under disaster conditions. ASPR and CMS concurred with
the recommendations.”

PLAN A - EPSS RISK ASSESSMENT
An EPSS risk analysis should be performed by a “qualified
individual” who has experience in designing EPSS and witnessing
their operation under long term stressful conditions. The risk
analysis should consist of:
1.
A dress rehearsal of the failure of every sub-component of the
EPSS,
2.
Short term failure of all outside services,
3.
A “reacceptance” test of all pre-alarms signals, remote
annunciator panels, E-Stops, by pass solenoids, ad infinitum
16
PLAN B – REDUNDANCY
Generators
Connection Panels
UPS
Fuel Systems – Multiple pumps fed from ???
Manual Controls – By pass solenoids, etc.
Starting Systems
By-Pass Isolation ATS
Spare parts
17
PLAN C – LOSS OF CELL TOWER, FUEL DEPOT AND
WATER PLANTS
Cell Towers – How much fuel in tanks and how are they
maintaining? How much are you paying them for
service?
Fuel Depots – Do they have a generator and how are
they maintaining it?
Water plant – Ditto
Local Gas Stations – Agreements to capture fuel and
methods to retrieve?
Purchasing and Leasing of Tanker?

EMERGENCY POWER COMMAND CENTER
Purpose: The EPCC® has been designed to
provide the facility engineer with immediate
access to all Emergency Power Supply System
(EPSS) information needed for system review,
planning, and emergency actions. It also
provides an easy and convenient system for
providing surveyors with all required compliance
documentation. (See Handout)
20
HHS REPORT
“Hospitals struggled to secure sufficient fuel supply,
which affected all aspects of hospital operations,
including staff availability. For 29 hospitals, fuel
shortage was a challenge that substantially affected
patient care. Fuel needs included running backup
generators, operating ambulances, ensuring delivery of
supplies, and securing sufficient staffing levels. Although
gasoline was often available, gas stations did not have
backup generators to pump the gasoline when the main
power went out.”
21
THE UNKNOWN
Sealed Batteries – CMS balking on answer – Add $19M
Triennial Tests – Inclusion of ATS (Joint won’t answer emails on
their Note 5)
Annunciator Panels – Older sets?
Distribution of Branches – Which edition of NEC and NFPA
99?
Ten second requirements – Proof?
Annual vs. Triennial 4 hour tests – Add $34M
22
ADOPTION SUGGESTION (A DRAFT)
“If any new or edited material appearing in a new
edition of any NFPA standard will enhance reliability
and/or improve patient safety, a healthcare facility is
granted the option of adopting the material regardless
of the NFPA edition(s) currently being followed/used by
the CMS or any deemed status organization and will
not be penalized for its adoption.”
