We, the undersigned staff want to petition for a change in security workflow at Kaiser Baldwin Park Hospital. Due to recent events, we feel that with the continuation of 24 hour visitation, staff does NOT feel like they are safe the workplace. There have been many occurrences with visitors wandering to different units. This suggestion does not change visitation guidelines (open policy) nor increase in security staff, but instead to suggest a safe and effective way to utilize our security staff to ensure that the hospital staff feel safe in the hospital/work environment.
We would like to suggest One security guard at the main elevators of the hospital to check visitors in. Each department should be color-coded, so when visitors check in with security, they can give visitors the proper visitor color sticker/arm band to place where it is visible, so that staff can identify the proper department the visitors should be at or directed to. Visitors should be limited to TWO per patient and swap if more visitors are present, as this can help staff with crowd control and not interrupt staff’s care for the patients/members.
Other Kaiser facilities have security protocols in place regarding visitation. We hope that you implement this suggestion, as safety for all staff and patients/members should be taken seriously. Thank you.

I honestly cannot believe how fast this is growing and how many of you are feeling the exact same anxiety I have felt every time I walk into those elevators. It is honestly such a relief to know that this isn't just in my head and that we all see the same problem with the lack of clear visitor tracking at our hospital.

Too many people just walking into the units whenever they want. It is a big safety risk for us and the patients. We really need those elevator checks.
ABSOLUTELY. I am tired of random people in the halls and confusing unit rules. We need better control at the front and actual badges. Do it now.
I agree. Safety for staff and patients should be a priority. Other hospitals have security at elevators screening and passing out visitor badges. They do it seamlessly and makes everyone feel protected. This should be our practice at Baldwin Park.
The Safety of Kaiser employees is imperative. Never has Kaiser put thought into the safety and welfare while frontline staff are at work! This needs to change NOW!
Our police need to be changed. None of the hospitals allow people in/out so easily. It's not safe for the patients, families, and staff. We need to have to door check for eligibility.
Keep the healthcare professionals safe!
this is a safety issue for patients and staff well being.

Finally someone said it. The current setup is just asking for trouble. Get security at the elevators ASAP.
