It may be time to redefine security as a "profit center" in the healthcare industry.
Security, say the authors, should be viewed as a profit center that protects the patients, staff, visitors, property, and assets of healthcare organizations from violent crime, injury, theft, or vandalism ... and the resulting devastating litigation. Security services, which protect the "bottom line," should be a central part of any healthcare organization.
