Training Your Staff: The Active Shooter in a Healthcare Facility

First Healthcare Compliance hosts Steven S. Wilder, BA, CHSP, STS, Senior Consultant & COO of Sorensen, Wilder & Associates for an interactive discussion on “Training Your Staff: The Active Shooter in a Healthcare Facility.” A healthcare facility is one of the easiest “soft targets” the active shooter can find…countless open doors on the perimeter make it an easy target. Staff must be prepared to recognize the event, respond properly, and recover afterward. And, in the COVID-19 world, that risk may move to an even higher level.

Educational Objectives:

  1. Explain five steps to minimize the losses that result from an active shooter event in a healthcare facility.
  2. Explain the “Four Outs” of response to an active shooter event in a healthcare facility.
  3. Discuss the decision-making process between personal safety and patient safety for the healthcare professional.
