Duties & Responsibilities
  • Continually monitors and actively patrols the emergency department waiting areas and pro-actively engages patients (awaiting treatment), visitors and staff in order to develop a positive safety culture and creates opportunities to enhance the user experience by making connections with those in the area and, where possible, alleviating some of the stresses and anxiety through respectful interpersonal interactions.
  • Uses supportive verbal techniques and engages staff resources in order to identify appropriate strategies aimed at the de-escalation of potentially violent behavior.
  • Develops relationships and maintains liaison with clinical and operational stakeholder groups (i.e. Triage, Admitting, Nursing, Social Work, Mental Health, Security and volunteers) to ensure effective communication and consultation in the development of appropriate support and/or intervention strategies.
  • Acts as a principal contact for security services within the emergency department and liaises with emergency responders including law enforcement and Emergency Services when managing individuals who may pose a risk of violence.
  • Makes observations relating to obvious visual changes to the apparent health of those awaiting services (i.e. loss of consciousness, dizziness, obvious labored or difficult breathing, unresponsiveness, etc.) in the area and immediately identifies any concerns to clinical staff.
  • Conducts and documents an hourly census of the number of persons in the waiting areas.
  • Maintains basic data concerning the number of client contacts made during each shift.
  • Establishes knowledge of the support options and resources available (i.e. warm blankets, food & drink, transit passes, community support resources such as shelters, etc.) and liaises with staff in order to ensure their applications are appropriate and not contrary to clinical needs (i.e. not all triaged patients should take food or water prior to being seen by a physician).
  • Develops relationships with regular patients and visitors and through consultation with stakeholders develops customized “Approach Plans” that identify strategies for safely and effectively managing individual patients and visitors who are known to present a potential risk of violence.
