This Committee continues to be one of the best attended of the Conference and this past January’s meeting in Orlando was no exception. For the past three years, we have been fortunate to have Larry Hartman from HDR serve as our Chairman and he has facilitated discussion on a wide range of topics that impact our profession. One topic that has been discussed at the last two meetings is the idea of maintaining human dignity and a modicum of privacy in multi-occupancy cells by screening (even enclosing) the toilet. Our discussion acknowledged that other Western nations have long recognized this basic right through the innovative approaches to creating a separate space for the toilet.
In future Committee meetings, we anticipate a great deal more discussion and, hopefully, recommendations for the ACA Standards Committee. We are saddened that Larry has announced his retirement but wish him a most enjoyable next phase of his exemplary career.
