The goal of this site is to inform and challenge readers to better understand the importance of the healthcare security industry.

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 all occupants feel safe and secure so they 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 a struggling healthcare entity. For those organizations, how they provide security services must change. Security services must be more effective in their operations and efficient in their financial obligation. Effective and efficiency security services provide added financial stability necessary in today’s healthcare institutions.

To fully understand the necessity of healthcare security, it is important to discuss the challenges healthcare faces today and in the future. Right now, the biggest challenge the healthcare industry faces is workplace violent and cyber attack. This pandemic has exposed the weaknesses within healthcare. Going forward healthcare within the US 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 provide financial stability for hospitals and healthcare institutions. Providing healthcare that is accessible, affordability and safe to all Americans allows hospitals and healthcare institutions the financial stability essential to conduct research, provide quality care, and a secure environment for the foreseeable future.
