What do most security professionals agree that a primary function of the security department in
a healthcare setting should be? \u2714\u2714Crime prevention.
Inherent Susceptibility: \u2714\u2714A healthcare setting is a prime target for crime, because of how the
business of healthcare works.
Open access: \u2714\u2714Healthcare institutions traditionally provide an open access environment. This
arrangement accommodates the huge numbers of people who come onto the property on a daily
basis. Once in a healthcare facility, someone can easily pose as a visitor or contractor and go
through many areas without being questioned.
Presence of Valuable Item: \u2714\u2714A healthcare facility is susceptible to crime due to the wide
variety of portable, marketable items used and stored there. More than 3000 items purchased by
hospitals are usable in the home.
Distracted Patients and Staff: \u2714\u2714Criminals know that patients and family members often are
less aware of their surroundings due to the medical and emotional issues with which they are<\/p>\n\n\n\n
aware as well.
Whose personal safety is affected? \u2714\u2714Patients: If patients are concerned for their personal well
being or the safety of their personal property their recovery may be affected. They may decide to
get healthcare treatment elsewhere. Employees: employees with personal safety concerns are less
productive and less attentive to patients. Visitors: Visitors concerned for their personal well
being may encourage their loved ones to seek medical care elsewhere.

risk and the initiation of some action to remove or reduce it.
Preventing Crime through physical security planning \u2714\u2714To adequately protect a healthcare
environment and prevent crime a comprehensive security plan must be developed. Its scope must
extend to the following:

2-Protecting Information,
3-Protecting the Physical Plant.
Layers of protection: \u2714\u27141. The perimeter barrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
or outside perimeter of the site. It can be either structural or natural. An example of structural
perimeter barrier is a chain-link fence. An example of a natural barrier is a row of trees.
Exteriors \u2714\u2714The second line of defense is at the buildings’ exteriors: the top, sides and bottom
of each building. Doors, windows, skylights, and fire escapes provide this defense.
Interiors \u2714\u2714The third line of defense is interior controls. Included are the internal operations of
the protected site and the security personnel who protect the environment. Many items comprise
the interior control system. Lock and key systems, access control, systems ( card, biometrics,
etc.) alarms, cameras, good policies and procedures, and proper training examples.
New employees \u2714\u2714New employee orientation is a vital fist step to generate employee
involvement in support of the security program. Security’s involvement in new employee
orientation begins a relationship between the security department and employees that must be
nurtured and maintained.

and security concerns immediately upon discovery. Suspicious Persons and safety deficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
