Abstract
The recent rise of active shootings calls for adequate preparation. Currently, the "Run, Hide, Fight" concept is widely accepted and adopted by many hospitals nationwide. Unfortunately, the appropriateness of this concept in hospitals is uncertain due to lack of data. To understand the "Run, Hide, Fight" concept application in hospitals, a review of currently available data is needed. A systematic review was done focusing on the "Run, Hide, Fight" concept using multiple databases from the past 12 years. The PRISMA flow diagram was used to systematically select the articles based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. The measurements were subjective evaluations and survival probabilities post-concept. One agent-based modeling study suggested a high survival probability in non-medical settings. However, there is a paucity of data supporting its effectiveness and applicability in hospitals. Literature suggests a better suitable concept, the "Secure, Preserve, Fight" concept, as a response protocol to active shootings in hospitals. The effectiveness of the "Run, Hide, Fight" concept in hospitals is questionable. The "Secure, Preserve, Fight" concept was found to be designed more specifically for hospitals and closes the gaps on the flaws in the "Run, Hide, Fight" concept.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
