When a hospital suffers a serious loss or act of violence, the blame frequently centers on the facility's Security Department, but, as the author, a longtime security consultant, points out, there's plenty of blame to go around--including Administration at all levels, and employees, both clinical and non clinical. In this article, he presents the many reasons why security can fail and what should be done to prevent such failure.
