What Healthcare Leaders Are Seeing
 

The panel draws on experience across hospital systems and healthcare security programs. Speakers discuss where violence risks appear, why staff may hesitate to report incidents, and how leaders can act on what they learn. Their advice connects reporting, role-specific training, clinical coordination, and continued employee support.

“Sometimes reporting can be difficult. We do not always make it an easy task for them. They say they sometimes lack time to make these reports. They feel unsupported.”
 

“Someone in senior leadership has to be accountable. If that ownership is not present, it is not typically carried down through the facility. You can have great champions, but gaps remain.”

“Security professionals and their team should be fully integrated into the prevention program and not just viewed as responders after an incident occurs. They need to work closely with those clinical teams.”
