Safety and Security Conceps for Clinics

SAFETY AND SECURITY CONCEPTS FOR CLINICS

Even before the coronavirus pandemic we appreciated the important role played by hospitals, clinics and doctor’s practices in society. Given their level of importance, it is imperative to minimize the risk of such healthcare real estate suffering outages or being compromised. This is an obligation for each hospital under healthcare regulations as part of their mandate to provide healthcare.

How well are you prepared for safety- and security-related situations?

  • Do your operational and emergency management systems meet current standards and are they generally state-of-the-art?
  • Do you have a current alarm and action plan, including an alert structure, for your hospital?
  • Do you have a current alert structure for your staff and officers?
  • Are you adequately prepared for emergencies such as failure of technical infrastructure or the loss off public utilities (critical infrastructure requirements)?
  • Does the building structure meet current standards with regard to protection against acts of violence or similar (burglary, theft, vandalism)?
  • How can your hospital respond flexibly and cost-effectively to epidemic and pandemic response plans?
  • How do you ensure effective crisis management and Business Continuity Management (BCM) in an emergency?
  • Does your personnel and service provider management take crises and emergencies into account?
  • Do logistics and stockpiling policies need to be changed? How can you create redundancy in these areas?

 

 

You have to address the following points

  • Legal requirements and recommendations
  • Critical infrastructure
  • Ensure adequate physical and digital protection of data (BSI data security)
  • Update operational organization and crisis management for the next medical crisis

REPURPOSING CONCEPTS FOR HOSPITALS

The future of many hospitals is uncertain – not least because of the coronavirus pandemic. The issue of oversupply of facilities in proportion to population will gain new momentum. The situation is further exacerbated by the economic impact of shorter hospitalization times and concern that subsidies may be cut as a result of a drastic reduction in tax receipts. The consolidation of locations increasingly leads to the question of what to do with real estate that is not longer required, and what future use would make sense given the current market and local situation.
