Security is on every health care facility's agenda these days. They wonder what they can or should do to prepare for terrorist attacks, while facing the same security concerns they always have in the emergency room, maternity ward and pharmacies. While there is no shortage of suggested "solutions" out there, facilities first need to take a step back and assess what their needs are. And while some existing facilities are too often stuck with "reactionary" security--adding metal detectors to an ER after a shooting, or putting cameras on a storage area that has experienced thefts, for example--those hospitals undergoing new construction may now have a golden opportunity to be more proactive.
如今，安全问题已提上每家医疗保健机构的日程。他们在思考，面对急诊室、产科病房和药房一直存在的安全隐患，自己能够或应该采取什么措施来应对恐怖袭击。尽管市面上不乏各种“解决方案”，但各机构首先需要回过头来评估自身需求。而且，一些现有机构常常只能采取“被动”安保措施——比如在枪击事件后，在急诊室增设金属探测器；或者在发生盗窃的储物区安装摄像头。然而，那些正在新建的医院现在可能有一个绝佳的机会采取更积极主动的措施。
