Abstract
The security-sensitive area pertains exclusively to the protection arena. The term security-sensitive area was coined by TJC relative to their standards and elements of performance. While non-TJC-accredited facilities are not bound by commission requirements, the commission requirements provide all organizations with a logical and practical method of identifying and approaching certain basic protection issues for areas of highest risk. There is a clear distinction between the security-sensitive area and the area that may have special security concerns. All healthcare organizations will identify certain risks in their respective environments that require enhanced or special security safeguards. It is the responsibility of the organization to make the decision, through the security risk analysis process, as to which areas have exceptional risk, rendering them security sensitive areas or lower risk areas of special concern.
