Northwell implements new screening technology

Описание: Northwell Health has implemented new comprehensive detection systems that screen for weapons and contraband at the entrances of several of its hospitals in phase one of the rollout. The technology will be installed at all hospitals in the health system, and is part of a larger Northwell initiative to maintain the safety of employees, patients and visitors. The effort also includes more resources and trainings for team members to enhance workplace safety. Scott Strauss, vice president of security and support systems, and Michael Dowling, president and CEO of Northwell Health, talk about the importance of this initiative amid a national increase in violence in health care settings.

Northwell Health is New York State’s largest health care provider and private employer, with 21 hospitals, 850+ ambulatory facilities, and more than 18,500 affiliated physicians.
