CLINICAL NEEDS OR SECURITY THREAT LOCKING Where special locking arrangements for the clinical security needs of the patient are used, only one locking device shall be permitted on each door and provisions shall be made for the rapid removal of occupants by remote control of locks; keying of all locks or keys carried by staff at all times; or other such reliable means available to the staff at all times. 18.2.2.2.5.1, 18.2.2.2.6, 19.2.2.2.5.1, 19.2.2.2.6
SPECIAL NEEDS LOCKING ARRANGEMENTS Where special locking arrangements for the safety needs of the patient are used, all of the Clinical or Security Locking requirements are being met. In addition, the locks must be electrical locks (that fail safely so as to release upon loss of power to the device); the building is protected by a supervised automatic sprinkler system and the locked space is protected by a complete smoke detection system (or is constantly monitored at an attended location within the locked space); and both the sprinkler and detection systems are arranged to unlock the doors upon activation. 18.2.2.2.5.2, 19.2.2.2.5.2.

Necessary repairs and adjustments were completed to ensure the doors open freely, are unobstructed, and meet Life Safety Code (LSC) requirements. Any defective hardware was repaired or replaced, and all doors now operate properly without impediments.
How you will identify other residents having potential to be affected by the same deficient practice and what corrective action will be taken: A facility-wide audit of egress doors was conducted to identify any additional doors that might be out of compliance. Any issues found during the audit were corrected immediately to ensure all egress pathways remain accessible, free from obstruction, and fully functional during an emergency.
What measures will be put into place or what systematic changes you will make to ensure that the deficient practice does not recur: Maintenance Director was educated by administrator, for checks for obstructions, damaged hardware, failed closers, and improper locking devices on egress doors.
How the corrective action(s) will be monitored to ensure the deficient practice will not recur, i.e., what quality assurance program will be put in place: The Maintenance Director/designee will perform audits that will be conducted weekly for four weeks, then monthly for three months.

Any defective hardware was repaired or replaced, and all doors now operate properly without impediments. How you will identify other residents having potential to be affected by the same deficient practice and what corrective action will be taken: A facility-wide audit of egress doors was conducted to identify any additional doors that might be out of compliance. Any issues found during the audit were corrected immediately to ensure all egress pathways remain accessible, free from obstruction, and fully functional during an emergency. What measures will be put into place or what systematic changes you will make to ensure that the deficient practice does not recur: Maintenance Director was educated by administrator, for checks for obstructions, damaged hardware, failed closers, and improper locking devices on egress doors. How the corrective action(s) will be monitored to ensure the deficient practice will not recur, i.e., what quality assurance program will be put in place: The Maintenance Director/designee will perform audits that will be conducted weekly for four weeks, then monthly for three months. Maintenance Director/designee to report findings through the monthly Quality Assessment and Assurance Compliance Committee for comments and recommendations.
