Healthcare workers are used to seeing people at their worst
– illness, injury and death can cause a normally controlled situation to become
unpredictable. But add to that the pressures on people who are struggling

with more instances of identification fraud by people who seek medical
services, increased cases of patients with mental health problems, and the
ever-present threat of an on-site active shooter in the healthcare environment.
