Seeking Input: Hospice Safety Protocols & Risk Assessments

    Hi all,

    I have a member request for an improved home safety assessment tool, along with follow-up protocols based on the assessment findings.

    For example, identifying whether firearms in the home are secured versus unsecured and visible during a visit would require different responses.

    If you have any best practice assessments or safety protocols related to patient and staff safety when weapons are present in the home, they would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you in advance for your help and insights!
