What to read after Healthcare System Security?

In recent years there has been a move from stand-alone hospitals and physician offices to integrated systems of healthcare services that include hospice care, retail pharmacies, home health services, assisted living facilities, and more. Healthcare System Security addresses this shift and the new challenges security professionals face when providing security services in the many settings that are part of a modern healthcare delivery system.

The book begins with an overview of the key organizational and routine security operations, such as communication, policy development, and training. It then addresses the security concerns of specialty healthcare operations unique to integrated healthcare systems, including retail pharmacies, home health services, infant protection, executive protection, courier services, assisted living facilities, centralized monitoring and crisis command, and training for nonsecurity personnel.

Healthcare System Security helps healthcare security professionals put to practice the security measures that make sense in a healthcare system. The guidelines included also benefit those working in a single hospital setting and want to make security changes in advance of an integration.

• Takes a holistic, system-wide approach to specific security issues and challenges, rather than focusing on a single facility perspective.
• Addresses security concerns with hospitals as well as hospice care, retail pharmacy, home health services, and more.
• Covers routine security operations and systems, as well as specialty operations unique to an integrated healthcare delivery system.
