Customized Training for Your Unique Role
While other violence prevention and security courses seek to cover all types of roles and environments, this course is designed specifically for the challenges you face in your role within an ambulatory/outpatient site setting.
Unlike a large or community hospital setting, ambulatory and outpatient sites have less resources at hand to manage safety, security and violence. Typically, there is limited or no security staff or security support at these sites and the responsibility for security and safety from violence instead falls upon practice leadership.
Without the proper training and skills, it’s difficult to fill or bridge the gap created by your limited access to security resources. That’s why we developed this course just for you - to arm you with lessons that you can immediately apply at your practice.
This course is designed with your busy schedule in mind. We know that competing priorities as a practice manager often leave little time for training. That’s why most of the course lessons are divided into short, easy to understand sections- most of which take 10 minutes or less to complete. Start the course when you have time and pick up where you left off anytime.
Who Should Take This Course?
Whether you are a seasoned practice manager, a director responsible for multiple practice locations, or a healthcare security professional, you can benefit from this course.
Ambulatory and outpatient sites are unique and you can’t simply apply the same strategies from a hospital setting to these locations. Our approach to security and violence prevention is tailored to your environment.
Anyone in a leadership role at your site or in a position that is responsible for the safety and security of your site (or multiple sites) can benefit from this training.
