Coffee shop causing traffic at hospital
Healthcare Security Weekly, December 12, 2005
Hospital security is linking a coffee shop in the hospital with recent traffic problems, reports the Brandon Sun in Canada.
The Brandon Regional Health Centre recently built a Tim Hortons coffee shop and security is finding that local residents are pulling into the hospital's traffic loop near the front entrance to run in and visit the shop instead of waiting in long lines at the other Tim Hortons nearby.
The parking states there is a 15-minute limit, but it does not say it is for patients only. Security is conducting a study to see how often people are parking there only for coffee runs and not for patient or hospital purposes. They are worried it is causing unsafe conditions.
Security does ticket people who park there longer than 15 minutes or leave their cars running, but they are considering changing the signs to drop-off zones only.
