Healthcare facilities are increasing security, training in wake of shootings, according to an article on the Boston Globe website. More hospitals are putting security measures in place to prevent or minimize bloodshed
Cambridge Health Alliance, which operates three hospitals in the Boston area, have gone to extremes, staging elaborate drills to anticipate how to deal with a gunman.
“As frightening as this is, workplace shootings just don’t seem to be slowing down,” said Christian Lanphere, director of emergency management at Cambridge Health Alliance.
Cambridge learned valuable lessons from the drill it held in October at Whidden Hospital in Everett, Mass. They learned that police radios don’t work well inside the facility because the walls are so thick.
