BLOG: Health Care Security – Why it’s important

Sep 13, 2022 | News | 0 comments

Patients, residents, staff, and emergency services should feel comfortable and protected in any healthcare environment regardless of if the environment is a hospital, long-term care facility, a clinic, or any other health care facility. With the global Covid-19 pandemic, health care facilities have seen an exponential increase in patient traffic, resulting in longer wait times for visitors. K9ine Security has seen an increase of violent acts among the Health Care Sector.

Why health-care security is important   

As a result, Health Care Security is rapidly growing and expanding industry wide. Health Care security guards are specially trained and have several key responsibilities including the overall safety of the facility, ensure staff from the facility are protected and safe as well as able to concentrate on their task at hand without violent distractions. Health-care security guards are also a key deterrent to vagrants, troublemakers, violent behaviors and provide a strong visual deterrent to tell visitors that issues and violent behaviors will be addressed immediately.
