  • Title: Closing the training gap in hospital security.
    Journal: Hosp Secur Saf Manage; 2002 Feb; 22(9):5-8. PubMed ID: 11915681.
    Abstract:
    While many healthcare facilities have highly trained security officers, some still relegate security to staff in other full-time positions--maintence, engineering, admissions--and don't provide those individuals with adequate training to perform the security functions they've been assigned. So claims says Linda Glasson, hospital security consultant. Glasson, past president of the International Association for Healthcare Security and Safety (IAHSS), noticed a gap in security training doing consulting work for healthcare facilities. In some instances, inadequately trained staff expressed concern about their ability to perform security functions. Her findings are supported by other hospital security leaders who spell out in this report what adequate training of security and non-security personnel should consist of.
