Hospital and Healthcare Security, Seventh Edition reflects the current state of healthcare security, particularly in data security and privacy, patient-generated violence, new technologies, and regulatory changes. The book explains the basics and higher expertise concerns, such as the roles of design, emergency management, and policy. Conveying a wide spectrum of topics in an easy-to-comprehend format, it provides a thorough understanding of how the modern healthcare security program should be structured, resourced, and integrated around the principles of people, processes, and technology. This industry-leading resource includes best practices, security master planning, and how to layer in protection philosophies in policies and procedures.

Due to rapid changes in violence in healthcare, regulatory requirements, litigation, accreditation standards, advancements in technology, and new healthcare security issues and topics, the new edition contains approximately 25-30% new and updated data and corresponding examples. It is deemed by healthcare executives, accrediting agencies, and industry associations to set the standard of care for healthcare security systems and programs.
