The Importance Of Healthcare Security Officers

Considering the serious (sometimes life-or-death) situations faced by people in the hospital, ensuring the safety of both patients and hospital personnel is essential. In recognition of this important task, last week (October 9-15, 2016) was Healthcare Security and Safety Week. This week, our medical recruiting experts are here to continue the conversation. Keep reading to learn more about the important roles healthcare security officers play in today's medical facilities.

What Is A Healthcare Security Officer?

Healthcare security officers are important hospital staff members. They do not provide treatment or sell any products, but they are nonetheless often very visible in hospital settings. The primary responsibilities for healthcare security officers are easing patient concerns and creating a safe environment for patients to receive treatment. Specifically, they are in charge of protecting information, reputation, property, and people.

What Does A Healthcare Security Officer Do?

A typical day for healthcare security officers frequently involves a variation of three main tasks: patrolling the hospital, responding to situations, and reporting information.

Patrolling The Hospital
Healthcare security officers are responsible for patrolling the hospital and manning specific posts. While on duty, they are expected to remain alert and prepared to respond to any suspicious activity that may threaten the safety of hospital patients, physicians, or staff. It is their job to provide assistance to patients and staff as needed and to ensure that safety regulations are followed at all times.

Responding To Situations

Hospital security officers are required to respond quickly to a variety of situations where there assistance may be needed. They may be called upon to direct traffic, mediate physician-patient interactions, help patients to their vehicles, escort patients or physicians, restrain unstable or irrational patients, enforce hospital regulations, and even assist with dead car batteries.

Reporting Information
Finally, hospital security personnel are in charge of making regular reports of their activities and findings. They are also expected to identify and report any health or safety hazards. It is always essential that healthcare securities respect the privacy of both patients and providers by keeping all their reports strictly confidential.

The Debates Surrounding Hospital Security Personnel

In recent years, violence in hospitals has become increasingly common. Becker's Hospital Review cites an article from The New York Times which reveals that hospitals saw a 40% increase in violent crime between 2012 and 2014, with more than 10,000 incidents directed at hospital employees. The vast majority of these instances involve outbursts by mentally unstable patients.

Healthcare security personnel have begun carrying weapons in response to the increased violence, which has (not surprisingly) sparked significant debate. Individuals who are in favor of arming healthcare security personnel claim that weapons are necessary in order to ensure the safety of both personnel and patients. The opposing side argues that bringing weapons into already tense situations may further endanger everyone that is present, as there are multiple cases reported where patients got control of these weapons. Regardless of how the debate over carrying weapons eventually resolves, healthcare security officers will continue to play crucial roles in our hospitals.

Honoring Healthcare Security Officers

Healthcare Security and Safety Week may have come and gone, but these honorable individuals and the important roles they play in our healthcare facilities deserve recognition year-round. We need our hospitals to be safe places for us to seek the care we need, and healthcare security officers are responsible for protecting that space. Here at The Hire Connection, we are immensely grateful to the people who dedicate their careers to protecting medical staff and their patients. On behalf of our entire healthcare recruiting team, we thank you!

Physician Assistants: America's Most In-Demand Profession

Our healthcare system currently recognizes three types of primary care providers: physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. While all three play integral roles, physician assistants are gaining natural recognition for being one of the most in-demand professions in our society today. In honor of Physician Assistants Week, The Hire Connection is dedicating our blog to the crucial role physician assistants play in our current healthcare model.

What Are Physician Assistants?

A Physician Assistant (PA) is a licensed healthcare practitioner that is well-versed in general medicine. In order to practice, physician assistants must undergo extensive schooling and training, and they must pass an in-depth certification exam. When the Affordable Care Act was introduced in 2010, it recognized PAs as primary care providers with the same level as physicians and nurse practitioners.

How Can Physician Assistants Practice?

Under the Affordable Care Act, PAs are allowed to practice in a variety of different settings. PAs may collaborate with other healthcare practitioners to form a cohesive team, or they may practice autonomously. They are licensed to diagnose, treat, and prescribe medicine. Like physicians and nurse practitioners, PAs are required to complete extensive continuing education over the course of their careers. Over time, this continuing education enables many PAs to develop unique specialties so that they may better serve their patients.

What Do Patients Think Of Physician Assistants?

PA's continue to play an increasingly important role in our healthcare system. A survey conducted by Harris Poll showed that:

93% of the people who interact with PAs considered them to be trusted healthcare providers.
92% felt that it was easier to get an appointment with a PA than a physician.
91% felt that PAs improved the quality of healthcare.

Physician Assistants Are In High Demand

Due in large part to the overwhelming support they receive from the general public, PAs are in remarkably high demand. In fact, their demand continues to increase every year. Studies are showing that hospitals who maximize the skill and expertise of their PAs do better financially than hospitals who rely more heavily on other practitioners. Because of these various factors, many media outlets are currently ranking Physician Assistant as the most promising job in America.

The Hire Connection Can Help Place PAs In The Right Facility

If you are looking to improve your practice by hiring a physician assistant, our team of medical recruiting professionals is here for you. We can help you advertise your opportunity and the area in which you are located so you can attract top-level PAs. We can also help facilitate the interview process by screening candidates, ensuring you only only spend your time interviewing those with the most potential.

If you are a PA looking for a new career opportunity, we are here for you, too. Our team of experienced healthcare recruiters can help you comb through the multitude of openings currently available to determine which facility will provide you with the right opportunities.

Whether you are the CEO of a major hospital, the recruiter at a small rural facility, or a practitioner pursuing your career, our medical recruiting experts are dedicated to helping you achieve success in the healthcare field. Call us at (866) 661-4473 to get started!

The Hire Connection and Social Media

It's hard to believe that Facebook is now 12 years old and that Twitter has been around for over 10 years! LinkedIn is the Facebook for professionals, and Google+ has 111 million active users and still growing. YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world. Many people now get their news only from social media. They also get local news, sports, entertainment, gossip, and even the weather from their social accounts. Luckily, businesses can also utilize these social channels to get their message out to their potential clients. Each social media channel has a different set of demographics, and in order to reach the maximum amount of potential clients, you need to be on all of them.

How The Hire Connection uses Social Media

At THC, we are all in when it comes to using social media to reach our potential clients and to also reach potential candidates for our opportunities. We provide insights into our corporate culture, talk industry news, provide motivational thoughts, and help with recruiting tips that we have found successful. We try to communicate our unique culture, tell stories, and share useful and interesting news and insights.

We also target our audience whenever possible. We want fans that are truly interested in the medical recruiting world, and we strive to entice potential candidates to learn about our constantly changing opportunities. For our clients, we also maximize the reach of their opportunities via numerous social media avenues. Here's some examples of the demographic audience we have:

THC Twitter account - www.twitter.com/hireconnection

We target the younger demographic (read Millennials) with this platform. We send several short and sweet tweets each week that captures the attention of this growing pool of candidates in the medical world.

THC LinkedIn account - www.linkedin.com/company/the-hire-connection-llc

LinkedIn is very important in our social world. We utilize this platform to reach not only possible candidates, but also the decision makers at medical facilities. We use this platform to establish credibility, and reach the older, often more affluent professionals in the world!

THC YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/HireConXion

Honoring Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Nurses

We talk frequently about the importance of hiring experienced physicians for your practice, but today we want to dedicate our attention to another crucial member of any medical health team: the nurses. In honor of National Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Nurses Day on September 8th, 2016, we thought we'd dedicate this blog to these specific nursing specialists.

Understanding Hematology-Oncology

MedicineNet.com defines Hematology-Oncology (or "hem-onc" for short) as the "diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of blood diseases (hematology) and cancer (oncology) and research into them." Examples of diseases that fall under the hematology-oncology classification include:

Hemophilia
Iron Deficiency Anemia
Sickle Cell Disease
Thalassemia
Lymphoma
Leukemia
Other Types of Cancer

Respecting Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Patients

Patients and their families are often grief-stricken when they hear of these particular diagnoses, and treatment is often long, grueling, and incredibly time-consuming. For example, cancer patients (even in the best circumstances) may expect to spend several weeks or months in the hospital during the initial stages of their treatment, followed by years of outpatient tests, treatment, and observation. Depending on the specific diagnosis and how advanced the disease was before it was discovered, some patients may never have any hope of recovery.

Considering this information, it's easy to see why a diagnoses in the hematology-oncology field can be so horrifying - especially for pediatric patients. Such a diagnoses is hard for anyone, but it is especially tragic for children and teenagers who would otherwise still have so much life left ahead of them.

Honoring Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Nurses

Due to the life-altering and sometimes tragic nature of these diseases, it takes a special type of nurse to work in this field. These nurses must be able to treat and interact with patients who are actively engaged in their treatment and looking forward to getting better, but they must also be able to be provide empathetic care to patients who may never get to live another day outside the hospital. Skill and expertise is critical for a nurse to succeed in this field, but empathy and genuine caring for their patients are almost equally as crucial.

Since they work primarily with children, pediatric hematology-oncology nurses must possess the added skills required to work successfully with young people. Young children process information and emotions differently than adults do, and it takes a special nurse to be able to create the type of environment a critically ill child can feel comfortable in.

Recruiting Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Nurses

If you are preparing to hire a new pediatric hematology-oncology nurse, ensuring that you find the right candidates is essential. Our medical recruiting experts are here to help you with every step of the process, including advertising your opportunity, screening prospective candidates, designing your proposed compensation package, and negotiating the terms of employment with your chosen candidate.

The Cost of Hiring the Wrong Physician

Let's face it...you can hire the wrong physician for your opportunity. Hopefully that does not happen, and at The Hire Connection, our success rate for placing the right physician in your opportunity is one of the main reasons you should call us. However, if the wrong physician is hired, what is the cost to your organization? Here are some costs associated with hiring the wrong candidate:

Poor hires are a drain on your resources in a big way.

Financial

Obviously, the financial cost of hiring the wrong candidate is reason #1. Salary, relocation allowances, signing bonuses and compensation for school debt are all drains on your organizations finances if the wrong person is hired. In addition, you may have to pay a severance package to someone that you have to let go. The US Department of Labor estimates that the cost of a bad hire can equal 30 percent of the employees first year's earnings.

Time and Productivity

Hiring the wrong person invariably is a huge drain on the time of many people, from department heads to upper management and human resource departments. If training is involved, immediate supervisors and trainers will see no return on the time spent trying to get the new hire up to speed. If there is conflict involved, then even more time is spent to try to remediate the conflicts and supervisors can spend a large part of their day trying to manage poor performers.

Morale

Nothing can kill the morale of an organization faster than a poor hiring choice. Having a poor performer can demotivate the team and your other employees can become disinterested or stop engaging.

Reputation of the Medical Facility

Your physicians are the lifeblood of the organization, and have the most face to face time with your patients. Hiring the wrong physician can have a devastating effect on the reputation of the medical facility or hospital. Social media makes this even more damaging. If a patient has the wrong experience with a physician, you can bet it will be on Facebook or other social channels very quickly.

So how do I keep from hiring the wrong candidate?

Keep in mind that 80% of turnover is due to bad hiring decisions, so examine your recruiting processes carefully. If you find that you are continually hiring candidates that are disrupting company culture, decreasing your productivity, and causing lost revenue, then consider hiring a professional medical recruiting company like The Hire Connection. Our processes include:

Constantly researching QUALITY candidates
Keeping a current list of potential candidates
Using technology to find and recruit top candidates
Vetting candidates based upon your input about your culture and environment
Working to ensure candidates' families know in advance about the community
Much more!

Don't lose more time/money/energy or the reputation of your facility. Give us a call and we will help you find the RIGHT candidate.
