title: From robbery to renewal--a case study: realizing security opportunities in the wake of a critical incident.
abstract: The robbery of an employee on her way to work may be a more common occurrence in some hospitals, but it was a rarity for a hospital in Western Colorado. In this article, the author describes how Security, working with Facilities Management, sought the root causes of the incident, and the steps that were taken to remove those factors that made it possible.
