Impostors targeting U.S. hospitals: could terrorists come to your ED?
Be aware of tactics commonly used by impostors, and make sure your department is prepared. Impostors may claim to be accreditation surveyors, health care professionals, or even government agents. Be alert to vehicles loitering near your entrance or slowly driving around your facility. Ask friends and family members to make late-night visits to evaluate how easily visitors can access your department.
