Specialized expertise
Our experience in this specialized area allows us to distinguish between not only the healthcare and non-healthcare environments, but between large urban acute care hospitals, smaller rural community hospitals, community health services in clinics residential care and even community workers delivering care in client homes. Our recruitment, selection and intensive training programs address these distinctions to ensure the “right fit” of Security Officers and an integrated security solution designed for healthcare by professionals who are actually from the industry.
Patient Watch Program
Based on a clinical risk assessment of a patient’s behavior, clinical staff may request the assistance of a Patient Watch Officer. Patient Watch Officers play an important role in managing patient behavior by providing continuous visual observation of the patient’s activities, under the direction and supervision of clinical staff.
Safety is paramount
The success of any patient watch program will depend on the level of investment the organization makes into the program. As the healthcare security leader Paladin recognizes this unique function within healthcare and provides our Patient Watch Officers with job specific training, knowledge, the tools and best practice policies to succeed. Should it be required the Patient Watch Officer is trained in safely intervening to ensure everyone’s safety.
