Security plans for individual healthcare facilities should begin as early as possible, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.
Thomas A. Smith, president of Healthcare Security Consultants Inc., said that security plans for individual healthcare facilities should begin before a project even breaks ground.
“In the next decade, there will be billions of dollars spent on new construction and renovation projects — a major opportunity to build security into each project,” Smith said in the article.
Not bringing security professionals early into the design process can result in expensive retrofits that tend to be less effective than security features that are integrated from the beginning, he said.
