Speaker: Mike Canales

When it comes to work in healthcare, Behavioral Health units, departments, and facilities there are a number of extraordinary considerations when it comes to the patient population, the physical environment design, access control, emergency management, and maintenance.  This four-module session is designed to introduce, orient, and help to qualify facilities management personnel who work in and around behavioral health.   The four sessions with a Q&A after each will be delivered in the following order:

  1. Facility Types and Patient Populations.
  2. The Physical Environment – Code and compliance implications.
  3. Tools & Materials – Specialized types, uses, and control.
  4. Special Locking Features & Emergency Management – Control Access and Management.
