How do CPOs interact with health facility staff during an incident?

When responding to an incident at a health facility, the guiding approach is collaborative, transparent, and rights-focused. CPOs should communicate clearly, align and coordinate roles, safeguard patient rights and staff safety, and document every action. Clear communication keeps everyone informed about the current situation and next steps; coordinating roles prevents overlap or gaps in response; respecting patient rights ensures privacy, dignity, and appropriate care; safeguarding staff safety reduces risk and protects those involved; thorough documentation creates an audit trail for accountability and after-action review. Withholding information breaks situational awareness and can violate privacy rules; ignoring patient rights is unethical and unlawful; delaying documentation undermines accountability and the ability to review the incident later.
