Bezpečnosť zdravotníckych zariadení

Abstract

The healthcare industry is changing daily. One of the top security issues affecting hospitals today is workplace violence. People rarely act violently without warning. Often, there are indicators that may be overlooked, remain unreported, or, even when reported, are not adequately evaluated and addressed. Healthcare facilities must have policies and procedures that require reporting of threatening or unusual behaviours. Having preventive policies and procedures in place is the first step in mitigating violence and providing a safe and secure hospital. The authors describe how to manage staff more efficiently and implement strategic plans to help acquire resources within a restricted revenue environment. Processes to manage emergent events, provide risk assessments, and evaluate and understand technology.
