Psychiatric
Psychiatric Safety Audits:
Our team of
psychiatric design experts has completed (30) “Psychiatric Patient
Safety Audits”, for facilities in (12) states. These audits are often
performed after there has been a patient incident in a hospital or
psychiatric institution, but it is always recommended that facilities
housing psychiatric patients be pro-active, and procure this
patient-safety focused audit before there is a patient incident.
Our “Psychiatric
Patient Safety Audits” includes a basic checklist of (68) psychiatric
patient-safety focused items but it expands and contracts depending on the
type and combinations of patient populations and whether it is private,
public, freestanding or part of a med/surg facility. The number of
variables that need to be considered vary widely with the nature and
culture of the organization as well as the age, diagnosis, medical issues
and many other aspects of the patients themselves.
