Healthcare settings are experiencing increased amounts of violent activity that are challenging to the health care security profession. There is difficulty in addressing this issue completely. Some of this difficulty is because of factors that include inexperienced and untrained clinicians and administrators that are often the decision-makers in the health care setting. As part of an effective solution, we propose that a security plan, including a comprehensive use of force program incorporating conducted electrical weapons, is a necessary and best-practice goal. This paper outlines the background of the problem and discusses the challenges we encountered in reaching this goal as well as the benefits we have discovered along the way. This paper will be beneficial to any healthcare security professional that is interested in enhancing or improving their current health care security use of force model to further counter the increasing violent activity in their respective healthcare setting.
医疗保健机构正面临越来越多的暴力活动，这对医疗保健安全行业构成了挑战。要完全解决这个问题存在困难。部分困难源于一些因素，包括经验不足且未经培训的临床医生和管理人员，他们往往是医疗保健机构中的决策者。作为有效解决方案的一部分，我们提议制定一项安全计划，包括全面使用武力方案，其中纳入电击武器，这是一个必要的最佳实践目标。本文概述了问题的背景，讨论了我们在实现这一目标过程中遇到的挑战以及在此过程中发现的益处。本文将对任何有兴趣增强或改进其当前医疗保健安全武力使用模式以进一步应对各自医疗保健机构中日益增加的暴力活动的医疗保健安全专业人员有益。
