05 / Frequently Asked
Healthcare questions,
answered.
The questions we’re asked most on healthcare RFPs, site walks, and scope-of-work calls — answered directly.
Q · 01Are your officers HIPAA-trained?
Every hospital officer completes HIPAA training during onboarding and recertifies annually. Our incident-report templates are PHI-aware, and we follow your facility's specific privacy protocols.
Q · 02Do you do physical interventions with patients?
Only when verbal de-escalation fails and patient or staff safety is imminently at risk. Our physical-management approach is CPI-certified and fully integrated with your clinical team's protocols.
Q · 03Can you meet Joint Commission requirements?
Yes. Our post-order structure is built around Joint Commission EC.02.01.01 security management, our officers are IAHSS Basic certified as a minimum, and we support sentinel-event investigations per your RCA process.
