Protecting Patients, Visitors, and Staff

Understanding Healthcare Safety Complexities

Statistics show that workplace violence in the healthcare industry is widespread. BPS understands the complexity of healthcare safety and can help you protect your patients, visitors, and staff. Our healthcare security solutions address threats head-on, providing a safer environment for everyone in your facility. Additionally, there are accreditation concerns. BPS is well-versed in Joint Commission and DNV security standards and can assist with compliance.

Key Elements of Effective Healthcare Security

For effective security, a systems approach is necessary. Multiple elements must work in concert, feeding off of and supporting each other. These include physical security (e.g., locks, doors, counters), electronic security (e.g., video surveillance, electronic access controls, intrusion detection, duress and panic signaling, infant abduction systems), security/police training and operations, staff training, and formalized policies and procedures.

Workplace Violence Prevention

BPS empowers healthcare facilities to address workplace violence (WPV) challenges, creating a safer environment for your staff. The proper selection of physical and electronic security aids can contribute to WPV prevention but a comprehensive program includes implementation of a Threat Management Team (TMT) with supporting guidance and training, staff training in recognizing and reporting signs of potential WPV, personal safety at the bedside for nurses and de-escalation techniques.

Customized Security Program Development

No two healthcare facilities are the same, which is why BPS offers customized security program development. We design tailored physical security solutions for healthcare that include:

Security Risk Assessment:

Understanding the specific risks faced by each facility is critical to determining where improvements are needed and exactly what those improvements should be. With BPS, this involves a detailed security risk assessment, where scenarios involving potential criminal activities are meticulously analyzed. The objective is to evaluate the likelihood of relevant scenarios; to assess how well-prepared you are for them, and to prevent foreseeable incidents from occurring.

Security System Design:

We design integrated systems that provide comprehensive coverage to include video surveillance, electronic access controls, intrusion detection, duress and panic signaling, and infant abduction systems.

Evaluate security staffing and training:

Conduct studies to properly evaluate staffing levels, types, and training to align security resources with the assessed risk.

Violence Prevention:

Recommend and help implement strategies to prevent and mitigate workplace violence and protect staff.
