What we know so far, and what we can expect in the future
Obviously, the use of BWCs in the private sector has increased dramatically in the past few years. On a national level in the healthcare sector, BWCs are becoming more commonly utilized by:
* Security officers and hospital-based law enforcement
* Emergency medical services
* Public health, specifically for home health visits
* Nurses in both psychiatric/behavioral health units and emergency departments
Our panel of experts will discuss the potential benefits and disadvantages of BWCs in a healthcare organization. For example, will BWCs help reduce incidents of violence and increase the perception of safety? Can they help improve the quality of training? What about potential disadvantages, including privacy concerns, any technical limitations and the costs associated with such a roll-out?
Also to be covered:
*How and where in the United States are BWCs being used?
*Data currently available to support or oppose the future use in NYC area hospitals.
*Current laws that regulate BWCs, including those that pertain to privacy and consent.
*Current industry standards and existing case studies.

MHSDA Annual Golf Outing
May 9The 6th annual MHSDA Golf Outing will be held on Friday May 9th at the New York Country Club. Reserve your spot today by contacting Mike Starer at 201-675-6164 or MStarer@care-inc.com.
We moved it up to early May this year and changed the start time to 9 AM. We are hoping that the earlier start time will lead to more people networking after golf since our lunch will start around 2 PM (with two hours of open bar). We committed to a minimum of 100 golfers this year. MHSDA will make up tee signs (haven’t done it in the past) for all specialty, gold and platinum sponsors to be put on the tee boxes. To do that, we will need your logo and payment by April 15th. Draft order for security directors (if wanted) is in order of payment received.
