When someone receives faulty care, the responsibility falls to you – the employer. It’s your job to ensure patients receive safe treatment and care. Failure to do so can lead to a legal claim for non-compliance.
You’re also responsible for your staff. You must ensure they receive their minimum employment entitlements, and you provide them with a hazard-free work environment.
These efforts need to be aligned with your pre-established policies and procedures.
Besides your regulatory body guidelines, you are also required to comply with your provincial occupational health and safety legislation. As a healthcare provider, you already run a business where you are entrusted with the health and well-being of your patients—a big responsibility on its own. Worrying about compliance along with managing your staff can feel like another full-time job.
