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.”

15

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.”

States may restrict generator preventive maintenance and testing operations on ozone days (i.e., Code Red days) Odor and nuisance control regulations Emission standards and permitting regulations vary by state

USEPA AIR POLLUTION CONTROL REGULATIONS

NSPS AND NESHAP REGULATIONS

• NSPS 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart IIII Applicable to compression ignition engines

• NSPS 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ Applicable to spark ignition engines

• NESHAP 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ Controls hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from new

and existing RICE

OTHER REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS

Other Regulatory Considerations

Fugitive dust, erosion, and sediment control requirements during construction Storm water pollution prevention requirements Fuel storage tank permitting and registration requirements - vary by state Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Regulations and Plans

ADDITIONAL ITEMS TO CONSIDER

Additional Items to Consider Facility name, location, points of contact Generator specifications, not-to-exceed emissions data, Tier certifications, Certificate of Conformity Generator and engine manufacturer, model number, serial number, kW, displacement, bhp, manufacture date, pollution control equipment information (SCR?) Purpose (i.e., emergency, demand response, peak/load shaving) One-line drawing, information on ATS, and interconnection agreement (for MD) Existing units/tanks (same information as above) Tank information – capacity, AST or UST, quantity Stack test required? Is facility already permitted? Does it have existing equipment? Evaluate other potential requirements, such as exhaust re-entrainment, other emission sources, etc.
