Chapter 7 Assuring Safety and Security in Healthcare Insti.docxmccormicknadine86
Chapter 7: Assuring Safety and
Security in Healthcare Institutions
Safety and Security – Risk?
• Health facilities that experience adverse
events due to safety or security issues can
incur penalties ranging from large fines to loss
of accreditation.
• An aggressive and well-organized safety and
security management program can help
minimize risk of and adverse event.
Regulation and Accreditation
• Medicare and Medicaid require a participating
healthcare organization to satisfy the
Conditions of Participation (CoP) relevant to
the management of safety and security.
– Accreditation by the Joint Commission, DNV
Healthcare Inc. or HFAP ensures that the facility
meets the CoP requirements
• State Departments of Health also regulate
safety and security in healthcare organizations
Safety vs. Security
• Safety can be a broad category with standard
policies and procedures throughout a facility or
system.
– Hand-washing policy
– Use of Personal protective gear
– Hazardous waste disposal
• Security must be more site specific.
• Safety and security policies sometimes conflict.
High Risk Events
• A facility may incur major penalties if a
“never” adverse event occurs (an event that
should not occur if appropriate safety/security
measures were in place)
• CMS may not reimburse costs of a never event
and many third party payers have a non-
reimbursement program as well.
Techniques for Managing
Safety and Security
• Risk Assessment Estimate
• Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
• Root-cause Analysis (RCA)
• Technological Redundancy
• Crew Resource Management
• Red Rules
Potential Environmental Hazards
• OSHA has a list of the types of hospital-wide
hazards and provides information on how to
prevent and respond to them
• Three categories of hazardous materials
– Biological
– Chemical
– Radioactive
Security: Unwanted Intruders
• Use of high-tech solutions to manage visitor
and employee access
– Automated turnstiles with card swipe readers for
employee entrances
– Visitor areas/desk where all visitors enter and
sign-in.
– Employee ID badges
– Secured areas
Potential Security Hazards
• Theft of Patient Valuables/Employee theft
• Infant abduction
• Workplace Violence
• Gangs
Patient Valuables
• Provide a safe in the building to house
valuables
• Provide receipts for any valuable stored by
facility
• Encourage patients to leave valuables at
home or give to family to take home
Violence in the Workplace
• Patients have a right to treatment but staff
have a legal right to a safe workplace
• Watch for signs that may lead to violence
(in patients, visitors and staff)
– Anger
– Stress
– Under the influence of drugs/alcohol
Gangs
• Many health facilities treat victims of gang
violence and occasionally the dispute
continues upon arrival at the facility.
• Use of metal detectors is increasing to prevent
entrance of weapons into the health facility

Chapter 12: Risk management for
Infection Control Programs
Goal of Infection Control
• To prevent the transmission of infections to
patients, visitors and healthcare personnel
• In the United States, infection control
programs are required by various agencies:
– OSHA
– CMS
– TJC
– State and Local Depts. of Health
Infection Control Program
A formalize infection control program includes
• Procedures for determining the risk of
transmission of infectious agents
• Enforcement or procedures
• Protocols to manage the risk
The organization’s leadership is responsible for
implementing these programs ...

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
