Identifying and mitigating risks at outpatient clinics/remote locations.
Healthcare security professionals are facing new challenges as their responsibilities in a fast-changing environment are increasing. The level of healthcare professionalism, the author says, can be improved through the use of risk assessments, strategic planning and design, security safeguards, and security program measurement. In this article, he discusses the importance of a site survey--providing a valuable checklist as well as giving proactive approaches for multiple and remote location protection. By using objective, site-specific crime forecasts and research, he claims, risks can be identified and predicted.
