Redwood
City, CA, USA -- Emergency University, the industry leader in
corporate Emergency Response system design, emergency medical
training and state-of-the-art response and collaborative technologies
announced today that Dr. Odelia Braun, Medical Director of
Emergency University, Eric Powell, Chief Security Officer of
Bayshore Global Management, and William Killgallon, Head of
Security and Crisis Management, GE Digital will lead an Impact
session on, "Emerging Trends in Executive Protection Medical
Programs" at the upcoming ASIS International Conference at the
Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas on September 26,
2017.
As
Executive Protection models evolve, EP professionals are increasingly
aware of the importance of integrating medical capabilities into
their security protection models to reflect the needs of their
principals. The panel will address the critical components to
consider when designing EP Medical Programs.
After
studying the challenges faced in designing these complex Executive
Protection Programs, the panel of EP professionals and experienced
emergency physicians developed a standardized process to evaluate the
status of their current teams, and set short-term and long-term
goals. They designed and implemented a coordinated program of medical
protocols, targeted training programs, equipment and technology,
designed to orient and prepare security teams to effectively respond
to medical issues while ensuring that the solutions emphasized
security first.
"Medical
capability in the executive/dignitary protection arena is a critical
resource. Having medical care on hand dramatically increases the
probability of mission success," Killgallon remarked. "For
example, one of the primary reasons the murder rate has decreased in
the last 30 years in the US is not because of less violence - there
is actually more - or better law enforcement; it is because of
better, faster, and closer emergency medical care - people are
surviving things that used to kill them."
A
well-prepared medical program ensures the best clinical outcome for
protectees experiencing medical emergencies. The presenters will
emphasize due diligence, ways to minimize risk and assemble vital
components into a cohesive system that predictably achieves effective
medical protection.
