Security Design Guidelines for Healthcare Facilities

This webinar was sponsored by the Academy of Architecture for Health (AAH).



DESCRIPTION:

Aggressive, disruptive, and violent criminal behavior is on the rise across every facet of health care in the U.S., from hospitals large and small, to residential long-term care facilities, to stand-alone ambulatory surgery centers and orthopedic care sites, to home health and hospice. Additional security staff including armed officers and police are often called upon to stem this tide of violence against healthcare workers. But, as you will learn in this presentation, SECURITY BEGINS IN DESIGN. The International Association for Healthcare Security and Safety (IAHSS) released the 3rd edition of its Security Design Guidelines for Healthcare Facilities in 2020. These new guidelines provide an update on aspects of the 2nd edition, and provide new guidance for emerging areas within the healthcare environment, including:

• Stand-alone emergency departments
• Urgent care and surgical care facilities
• Residential long-term care facilities
• Emergency department based behavioral health facilities.

Join us for a high-level overview of the changes in this new document.

  • Describe important security design elements to include in every project and their impact on the users experience and safety.
