What the source explains
The American Hospital Association and the International Association for Healthcare Security and Safety developed this guide for hospital leaders. Its purpose is to recommend action steps for a safer workplace and connect leadership with security practice. It should be used as professional reading, with local decisions made by people familiar with the institution. It does not replace site-specific risk assessment or Indian requirements.
Using this reading in your hospital
Invite the security lead to a clinical safety meeting and a clinical representative to the security review. Agree a common description of incidents and a shared method for tracking corrective work. Keep patient-care decisions with the appropriate clinical professionals.
A question for your team
Are clinical and security teams reviewing the same events, or maintaining separate lists that never meet?
