  • Title: Staffing by the numbers: a statistical approach to staffing justication.
    Author: Yaross D, Morris RJ, Guo M.
    Journal: J Healthc Prot Manage; 2007; 23(2):78-86. PubMed ID: 17907612.
    Abstract:
    The article describes how a hospital's Protective Services Division, working closely with Human Resources, developed several recommendations to alter the current security coverage without sacrificing employee safety in order to minimize the use of overtime dollars. With a security department competing with many other divisions for the same dollar resources, organizations will not be willing in a tight market to support a department that does not demonstrate fiscal responsibility, according to the authors. Additionally, they state, security initiatives must be aligned with the strategic initiatives of the organization in order to be funded by senior leaders.
