Health Care Security Modernization Executive Brief
A C-Suite Guide to Building the Next-Generation Security & Safety Ecosystem
Protecting People, Reducing Risk, and Elevating the Patient Experience
Hospital System Executives, Senior Leadership & Boards
The Executive Overview: Why Security Must Transform Now
Modern healthcare faces a convergence of forces that legacy security systems cannot withstand.
Rising Threats
Workplace violence is at its highest levels in decades.
High-risk units — ED, BHU, NICU, Pediatrics — require greater situational awareness, speed, and visibility.
Regulatory Pressure
Joint Commission, CMS, OSHA, and state requirements now expect:
-
Formal workplace violence programs
-
Digital audit trails
-
Documented security policies
Operational Inefficiency
Siloed systems slow investigations, reporting, credentialing, and patient/visitor throughput.
Cyber-Physical Vulnerabilities
Cameras, controllers, and legacy servers are now among the most exploited attack surfaces in healthcare.
Systemwide Expansion
Mergers, acquisitions, clinics, and ambulatory centers demand enterprise-scale consistency.
Modernization is no longer a technology upgrade — it is a strategic requirement for safety, compliance, and operational excellence.
The Cost of Doing Nothing
Legacy systems create material risk for health systems:
-
Operational Risk
Slow response times, poor visibility, inconsistent workflows. -
Compliance & Legal Risk
Survey failures, incomplete documentation, inability to produce logs/video instantly. -
Cyber Risk
Unpatched servers, outdated firmware, unmanaged devices. -
Financial Risk
Inefficiencies in investigations, visitor management, credentialing, reporting. -
Reputational Risk
One major incident can damage public trust and leadership credibility.
Stagnation is the most expensive strategy of all.
