Healthcare Security and Safety: Compliance and Joint Commission

Documenting and demonstrating compliance with regulatory standards and guidelines are essential, but it’s just the beginning of your comprehensive workplace security and safety program. Your incident reporting software can serve as the backbone of a proactive, effective healthcare workplace violence prevention program.
