Based on observations during the survey walk- through, while accompanied by the facility representative, the facility failed to maintain the means of egress corridors free from obstructions to comply with 7.1.10. This condition could affect patients, visitors and staff from gaining access to an exit in a timely manner during a fire/smoke event.
Findings include:
A. During the morning and afternoon of 12/10/13, 12/11/13 and 12/12/13 means of egress corridors were observed to be used as storage for wheelchairs, computers-on wheels, IV stands, carts and chairs. The length of egress corridors were reduced to half their required width which does not comply with 19.2.1 and 7/1/10. Example locations observed:
