Joint Commission has laid out a strategic and detailed set of expectations that hospitals and other healthcare organizations can use to ensure they are in compliance with health laws. At Nightingale we seem to be in compliance with a number of these standards. According to a recent periodic performance review we are in compliance with the Joint Commission standards in the Emergency Management requirement section. The EM develops a plan in case the facility has an emergency that includes the planning of activities of hospital administrators and leaders. This plan should include details that would identify what an emergency is, how it would be communicated to the staff, and what arrangements will be made for the facility.
You must answer each question in your own words and written in the first person meaning “I do this”. A tip is always to keep in mind the “who, why, how, where and when” in each answer.

There are many incidents and emergencies that can occur in a health and social care setting regardless of how careful an organisation is and how many precautions they take.The health care setting I will be talking about is a hospital, and the priorities and responses that should take place when dealing with incidents and emergencies within it. Priorities are steps that need to be taken in the case of an emergency or incident that are considered more important over other plan of actions. A response is what action is taken after the emergency or incident in order to prevent it from recurring or minimising the risk and likelihood of it happening again. I will be discussing the three most important priorities and the response that follows in the case of a possible emergency or incident in a hospital. An emergency can be defined as a serious, unexpected, and often dangerous situation requiring immediate action.
Promote person centred approaches in Health and Social Care Understand the application of person centred approaches in health and social care 1.1) Explain how and why person-centred values must influence all aspects of health and social care work Person-centred care values must influence all aspects of health and social care work. Health and social care should be based on person-centred values, and should be individualised as this is a law requirement (Human Rights Act 1998, Health and Social care Act 2012, Codes of practice for Social Care Workers, etc.).

If you are employed as a carer, it acts as a guide to you in terms of what sorts of activities are expected of you.
