Description
ACHC hospital standards address the need for a safe environment across all departments and locations. Based on specific conditions, identified safety and infection risks dictate varying levels of response. This tool is designed to address the challenge of assessing risk using a consistent, effective matrix, and documenting the results, follow-up actions, and responsibilities.
The tool can be duplicated and used across the organization to address wide range of concerns, identifying those that require immediate action and those for which monitoring and repeat assessment may be sufficient.
