“We are proud and delighted to become an official sponsor of Powered for Patients, which we see as a terrific example of a public/private partnership that is addressing issues critical to public health and safety,” said Bob Byrne, President and CEO of Power Pro-Tech Services. “Our participation in the initiative will increase our company’s value to hospitals and other healthcare clients.”

Byrne said he looks forward to his company’s participation in Powered for Patients State Stakeholder Engagement Initiatives being planned in several states, as well as having his company’s expert on codes and standards serve on the Powered for Patients Code & Standards Workgroup. Byrne added that his company’s participation in the Codes & Standards Workgroup will enable him to work closely with the American Society of Healthcare Engineering (ASHE) to bring his hospital clients to the table to help collectively address concerns over proposed federal rules that will require more frequent testing of hospital generators. ASHE is an active supporter of Powered for Patients and is expected to help lead the Codes & Standards Workgroup.

Cote’s presentation was one of two during the 90-minute session that included a presentation from West Virginia University Law Professor James Van Nostrand on Combined Heat Power systems as an alternative to backup generators.

While at the Preparedness Summit, Cote also had the opportunity to meet with senior public health preparedness officials from a number of states to discuss launching State Stakeholder Engagement Initiatives.

We wanted to share a profile of Powered for Patients that was published last week this month by NFPA Journal, the official publication of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). You may recall that Robert Solomon, PE, a senior official with NFPA, took part in the initial 2014 Powered for Patients Stakeholder Meeting. Robert was instrumental in facilitating the NFPA profile for which we are grateful.
