Based on information told to us by hospital folks last year, Joint Commission surveyors may ask the following questions about infant security in the hospital:
- What security measures do you have in place to prevent an infant abduction in the labor unit?
- Do you think those measures are adequate?
- What steps have others hospitals in the area taken to prevent infant abductions?
- Can operators at the security control center describe infant security measures?
- Do you provide the same security measures for pediatric patients that you do for infants?
- What types of education have security officers received about infant abduction prevention?
