"SAFETY AND THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT:
Helping Behavioral Healthcare Organizations
Stay Up to the Minute"
A two-hour training on compact disc
Maintaining a safe environment is a high priority for the clinical and administrative leaders in behavioral healthcare organizations. And it is an area that is receiving increasing regulatory oversight. For example, Joint Commission policy now requires a survey of the built environment in onsite surveys. Suicide prevention is a key Safety Goal for 2009. The American Institute of Architects (AIA) draft 2010 hospital standards, which are now out for comment, include behavioral health standards. In this two-hour training on compact disc, faculty from The Joint Commission provide perspective on the results of their current accreditation reviews of the built environment, including a discussion of the latest Joint Commission policies. Safety experts share their insights to help you avoid costly mistakes when implementing changes in the built environment. Find out about resources that can help you locate products that others have found useful in improving patient safety.
