Security Review and Risk Assessment
As part of the EQuIP (Evaluation and Quality Improvement Programme) review cycle established by ACHS (Australian Council of Healthcare Standards) JBS Consultants were commissioned to review the exisiting Security Infrastructure for the Hospital's main sites and conduct a risk assessment to establish an improvement strategy.
Objectives
A number of clear objectives were established and agreed at the outset. These were captured in a Project Document whcih forms the basis of all JBS projects. In summary these were:
- To review the exisiting technical and operational infrastructure across the main sites;
- Identify any risks the Hospital faced and potential impact on the ability to deliver an effective service;
- Identify any future projects or changes which may affect a future strategy;
- Define a strategy for improvement and make recommendations to address any immediate issues.
Methodology
The project followed 4 key stages:
- Key players in the delivery of clinical and non-clinical services were identified and interviewed to assess their views and capture their experiences;
- The facilities were assessed to determine the operational objectives and capability of the infrastructure to meet these objectives;
- A number of key strategic objectives and immediate issues were identified and an outline plan agreed with Hospital staff;
- A detailed plan was developed for presentation to the Board.
Outcomes
As a result of the review the overall Strategy has been accepted and a number of the recomendations are in progress. The subsequent EQuIP review proved very favourable and supported the overall strategic approach.
