      Hospital and Healthcare Security, 7th Edition builds on the foundation of the previous six editions and includes new material to reflect the current state of healthcare security, particularly in data security and privacy, patient-generated violence, new technologies, and regulatory changes. It explains the basics as well as higher expertise concerns, such as the roles of design, emergency management, and policy. Conveying a wide spectrum of topics in an easy-to-comprehend format, it provides a thorough understanding of how the modern healthcare security program should be structured, resourced, and integrated around the principles of people, processes, and technology. This industry leading reference discusses best practices when assessing the security vulnerabilities of a healthcare environment, security master planning and layering in protection philosophies into the built environment, and leveraging security systems and innovation and focuses on operationally proven practices, policies, and procedures. Due to rapid changes in violence in healthcare, regulatory requirements, litigation, accreditation standards, advancements in technology and new healthcare security issues and topics, the new edition is rewritten in most areas and contains approximately 25-30% new and updated data and corresponding examples. This book is deemed by healthcare executives, accrediting agencies, and industry associations to set the standard of care for healthcare security systems and programs. Its scope, purpose, and objective do just that—set the standard of care in healthcare security in both a legal and operational sense. It serves as a comprehensive resource for those new to the industry, recently promoted and seasoned professionals alike.

      According to Pinkerton—the leading provider of risk management services in the world—workplace violence is second only to cybersecurity as the top threat faced by organizations today. Incidents involving active shooters in the workplace are on the rise and becoming more violent and deadly. Active Shooter provides the tools necessary to identify potential violent individuals, along with the options and responses needed to save lives, reduce corporate liability, and recover from an active shooter event should it happen. Active Shooter begins with a brief history of active shooters and how they have changed over time. It shows why many perpetrators initiate attacks, what they often are thinking, and some of the indicators that could have been identified prior to the attack. The book shows how to develop an active shooter program in an organization, walking readers through the entire process including training exercises to test the efficiency of the program. With the uniquely private security perspective, Active Shooter illustrates how to communicate with law enforcement, government agencies, and the media in the event of active shooter incident. The book concludes with a discussion of how organizations can recover promptly after an incident, which is crucial for operational survival.
