Gun Violence in Hospitals: How Much of a Threat is it Really?


Within the past few weeks, three shootings in healthcare settings made national headlines. This naturally leads to some wondering why more isn't being done to avoid such tragedies. But these events don't occur as frequently as it may seem right now, and steps to avoid such incidents are so potentially burdensome to hospitals that many aren't realistic.


Ultimately, researchers found hospital-related shootings are relatively rare when compared with other forms of workplace violence such as assault and disorderly conduct. In fact, the likelihood of getting stuck by lighting is higher than the likelihood of being shot in a hospital.

Orange Tree Employment Screening Granted Continuing NAPBS Accreditation


Orange Tree Employment Screening announced that the National Association of Professional Background Screeners (NAPBS) has awarded Orange Tree continued accreditation by the NAPBS Background Screening Credentialing Council (BSCC). The continued accreditation is the result of Orange Tree's successful completion of an interim surveillance audit and the BSCC's approval of the findings of that audit. Orange Tree was originally accredited by the BSCC in 2011 for a five year term.


When asked what this ongoing national recognition means, Heidi Seaton, VP of Operations and Compliance, said "We hold ourselves accountable to the industry's highest standards, and to continuously improving our services and process to benefit our clients. Continued accreditation by the BSCC affirms our efforts in these areas. Successful completion of this audit and continued accreditation is a critical industry endorsement of Orange Tree Employment Screening's business practices."
