The International Association for Healthcare Security and Safety’s 2022 Crime Survey reports that the rate of hospital violent crime increased to a record 2.5 incidents per 100 beds in 2021, which was a 47% increase compared to 2020. This along with healthcare’s increasingly mobile work force of remote and lone workers have placed hospital staff at a higher risk.
This guide includes best practices and preventative measures for keeping workers safe when nearby help isn’t possible. A timeline illustrating how an emergency notification process supports lone workers during a critical event is also included.
