| Keeping kids safe |
| At Brownwood (TX) Regional Medical Center (BRMC), staff members use new, cost-effective techniques to help keep their smallest patients safe. The facility's pediatric security process, updated in September 2007, was enhanced after an infant was abducted from another Texas hospital.
"A child was abducted from a hospital in Lubbock, TX, which is about three and a half hours from here, so it's not right next door, but that was not the first child in Texas that had been abducted from a hospital," says Buffy Simpson, RN, assistant nursing director on the medical-surgical/pediatric unit. |
