Managing the Forensic Patient
Critically analyze two areas:
Are there any gaps in the policies/procedures or guidelines in meeting these standards? Identify the gaps and indicate what steps should be taken to address them.
Assignment B: If you are not working in a healthcare setting that is not currently accredited by TJC, determine if they still have policies, procedures, and guidelines that address these or similar possible forensic issues? Or does your organization have no policies, procedures, and guidelines in place?
Critically analyze the intent of these standards concerning your organization and determine an outline of what policies, procedures, and guidelines should be put in place to address these forensic client/patient issues.
Write a briefing note that you might send to the manager of your risk management department titled Managing the Forensic Client or Patient (or choose a title appropriate to your setting).
Discuss the standards and how they might relate to your particular workplace setting. If you are not working in a health care setting describe how the intent of those standards might be applied in your workplace setting.
