Health care workers face a disproportionate percentage of workplace violence, which is a growing concern. Widespread gun violence causes anxiety and incidents have escalated beyond threats and intimidation. In the health care field, clinicians have a 20% higher chance of being the victim of workplace violence than workers in other industries. Forty-four percent of nurses reported experiencing physical violence. Health care leaders are seeking to ensure a safer and more welcoming environment to provide care to their patients.  

What steps are our security professionals taking to protect our environment?  

Join this live webinar and explore:
-The new threat landscape and how employees are impacted. 
-Real-world perspectives on how organizations are approaching workplace safety, including a case study on Southern Ohio Medical Center’s approaches to increasing security. 
-An updated view of security requirements and modern security technologies to address the new reality. 
-Live Q&A on how hospitals address safety concerns to ensure patients, staff and visitors feel secure.  

Attendees Will Learn:  

  • Situational awareness and an option-based solution. 
  • How AI can help prevent the incident, or at least increase response rate if one occurs.
