Incident Reporting and Notification:
When safe to do so submit an incident report and inform your supervisor of any security related incidents. You can report any incidents and accidents by going to The Hub and finding the Incident/Accident icon under shortcuts.
Reporting such occurrences including those involving patients helps identify areas that require heightened monitoring.
