Healthcare environments present unique challenges when preparing for and responding to active threats. This one-hour webinar explores evidence-based strategies for recognizing, preventing, and responding to potential threats including active shooter incidents in healthcare settings. Participants will learn to identify behavioral and environmental warning signs, identify techniques to diffuse situations, understand the importance of reporting concerns and behavioral threat assessment, and explore organizational and individual strategies that can reduce risk and strengthen preparedness. The webinar will also review best practice including the FBI’s Run, Hide, Fight response framework, considerations unique to patient care environments, and the role of law enforcement during an active threat.

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

·  Recognize behavioral and environmental warning signs of a potential threat or active shooter incident.
·  Identify procedures organizations and individuals can implement to mitigate the risk of active shooters in the healthcare setting.
