The new version of the NFPA code was controversial when it changed the definitions of wet locations. What was this change? Why was the change made? Why was it difficult for hospitals to deal with? Who is CMS? How do their guidelines influence the use of medical technology in the clinical setting? What regulatory power do they have? Describe/summarize the mandate in the memo dated December 10, 2011 After the 2011 mandate, Who arc the authors of this response? Do they represent the hospitals? Was the CMS 2011 mandate about maintenance activities changed.Explanation / Answer
