CMS has opened a pressure-relief valve for nursing facilities that rely upon the Fire Safety Evaluation System (FSES) as an alternative means to demonstrate compliance with fire safety requirements of NFPA 101®: Life Safety Code® (LSC). This issue affects only a small number of nursing facilities in Minnesota, but we want to make sure those who may be impacted have the latest information.
