With the costs associated with providing quality patient care rising faster than reimbursement rates, many healthcare organizations are facing an urgent need to identify and realize financial savings across the board.

Many healthcare organizations are finding that working with a security consultant helps them create a more effective security program and achieve significant savings in security-related costs.
