CSHE provides opportunities for members to communicate and exchange ideas to keep abreast of operational disciplines through local chapter meetings, the Annual Institute, code review committee communications, newsletters and seminars. The CSHE Board of
Directors and the executive committee meet quarterly to conduct the business of the society. In its first five years, CSHE doubled its membership and the number of hospitals represented, established the CSHE Annual Institute,
published the CSHE News, and participated on code review committees. CSHE members have held board positions in the American Society for Healthcare Engineering (ASHE), including several presidencies, and serve on various ASHE
advisory committees.
AffiliationsCSHE is affiliated with the American Society for Healthcare Engineering (ASHE). ASHE is the largest of the affiliated societies of the American Hospital Association, representing 2,500 hospital engineering personnel. PublicationsThe CSHE Engineering News is published for the members, containing the code review report, activities of the state board of directors, and articles on timely topics submitted by members on pertinent healthcare engineering topics. Information sharing is a prime asset of the News and many members’ articles have been reprinted in other national trade journals. Membership ServicesCode ReviewThe CSHE Board of Directors maintains a code committee to review all proposed and approved code changes, and participates in hearings and on various code advisory committees. The information is summarized and published in the CSHE Engineering News to keep CSHE members current on changes which may affect their facilities. Intradisciplinary AwarenessThe constantly expanding scope of healthcare engineering, through technical and regulatory changes, makes it mandatory for plant, biomedical and telecommunications personnel to interact with all departments so that each facet of healthcare engineering can cooperate effectively and efficiently. Annual SeminarsThe one-and-a-half day CSHE Annual Institute happens each spring and alternates between Northern and Southern California. The institute features topics of current interest presented by professional, qualified, expert speakers and panelists. One-day educational seminars are scheduled in the fall in Northern and Southern California. |
