In this article, the author analyzes the possible reasons for the reported drop in hospital violence in the 2016IAHSS Crime Survey compared to previous surveys. He also reviews the one statistic that has remained constant in all the recent crime surveys and recommends an approach in violence prevention programs that may prove successful in reducing workplace violence and staff injuries.

Providing great customer service is extremely critical in the healthcare setting, especially when it comes to HCAHBPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Health care Providers and Systems) scores, the author says. While there are several service training programs within healthcare, they often require six to eight minutes of interaction with patients or guests. This works well for clinical staff, he says, but when it comes to non-clinical staff, including security officers, many times they only have fifteen or thirty seconds to create positive patient or guest experience. In this article he describes Extreme Customer Service

In every community human trafficking has become more apparent to healthcare providers. Children who are missing are at risk for ex- ploitation and harm. In response to the identification of missing youths in the emergency room setting, a guideline has been developed as a tool for healthcare providers to identify and appropriately respond to a child who is reported missing and at risk for harm. In this article, the author provides guidance for security and other ER personnel on how to identify such children.

The availability of an Early Intervention Program for at-risk children in New Jersey's city with the highest crime rate and poverty level has been enhanced several fold by a volunteer escort service provided by security officers of hospitals which serve the community. In this article, the lead author and contributors explain in detail how an Early Intervention Program works and the key contribution to its success by hospital security escorts.

The formation of well trained, organized, and supervised clinical staff working in collaboration with security officers, has resulted in a reduction of work-place violence injuries to staff, according to the authors. In addition, the rate of restraint deployment for disruptive patients has also been reduced.
