Depending on the size and complexity of the clinic, the clinic may need to develop a security-management plan. Such a plan should address how to protect staff, patients, and visitors from harm from intruders or other patients. The plan should include methods for controlling access to and egress from sensitive areas in the clinic (e.g., health records room, medication-storage area).
