The Emergency Departments at Windsor Regional Hospital’s Metropolitan and Ouellette campuses see almost 100,000 patients annually. Delivering great care while ensuring the safety and security of those patients, along with that of visitors and staff, is a top priority for WRH. The populations served by each hospital are quite diverse, and the hospitals provide care to all who pass through their doors. In response to the current hospital security landscape, Michael Broderick, the Manager of Safety and Security at Windsor Regional Hospital, led a risk assessment for Emergency Department staff, focused on workplace violence. “That assessment pointed us to the need for a solution that would screen people upon ingress without impeding their entry,” he explains. That’s where the Evolv Express came in. After implementing the Express:
- Staff vacancy rate dropped from 30% to 2.7%
- Helped provide seamless security screening to diverse patient and visitor populations
- Screened nearly 100,000 patients, family members, and visitors at two EDs.
