To fully understand the necessity of healthcare security, it is important to discuss the challenges healthcare faces today and in the future. Now more than ever, it is essential to provide efficient and effective security services to the healthcare industry. Delivering services so that patients, visitors, and staff feel comfortable visiting and working within the healthcare environment. As security professionals, our challenge today is to make them feel safe and secure so that they will return to the healthcare environment. Visible security services can help to provide that feeling of security.  However, providing security services right now can be a financial burden on the healthcare entity, so services need to change. Be more effective in their operations and efficient in their financial obligation. Effective and efficiency security services provide add financial stability necessary in today’s healthcare institutions.

The biggest challenge healthcare has faced over the past several months is Covid-19, from this we have learned the importance of security services along with all of the other support services necessary in providing clinical care. Going forward the healthcare industry should no longer be taken for granted. Affordable and accessible healthcare is needed to reduce the spread of disease, respond faster to new and emerging threats and most importantly to provide financial stability for hospitals and healthcare institutions. Providing healthcare that is accessible and affordability to all Americans allows hospitals and healthcare institutions the financial stability necessary to conduct research and operate in the foreseeable future.
