Description
Concerns about healthcare security have proliferated in recent years, with one recent study reporting that 17% of registered nurses
surveyed had been physically attacked at work over a 1-year period. From privacy concerns to the mandates of the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act (HIPAA) to the rapid growth in the number of aging and ailing baby boomers, healthcare has undergone dramatic
change, and security in hospitals and other settings must keep pace. Most educators, healthcare executives, and healthcare agencies and
associations agree that
Hospital and Healthcare Security
, a Butterworth-Heinemann classic, has set the standard
of care for healthcare security systems and programs.
Hospital and Healthcare Security, 5th Edition
,
builds on the solid foundation laid down by Russell Colling in the first four editions, covering the shifts that have occurred in healthcare
security since the last edition appeared in 2001. The new co-author, Tony York, is a well-regarded security professional and a past president
of the International Association for Hospital Security and Safety (IAHSS). This new edition has been reorganized and rewritten to cover
new healthcare security topics and issues, particularly in licensing, regulatory requirements, litigation, and accreditation standards
in the US. The authors have added a full range of corresponding examples, not only from the privately funded US system but also from
national healthcare systems in UK and Canada.
This new edition expands the scope of Colling's foundational work and focuses its
coverage of legal and operational issues to bring this vital information to a new and broader audience.
