When active shooters invade healthcare facilities, having a plan matters, according to an article on the Public Health Emergency website.
According to a study in the Annals of Emergency Medicine, there were 154 hospital-related shootings from 2000-2011.
The 2015 Healthcare and Public Health Sector Coordinating Council Guidance on Active Shooter Planning and Response in a Healthcare Setting contains specific guidance for healthcare providers.
Another resource, Incorporating Active Shooter Incident Planning into Health Care Facility Emergency Operations Plans helps emergency planners, disaster committees, executive leadership, and others better prepare for an active shooter incident and integrate that planning into their emergency operations plans.
