The benefits of Taser CEWs in a healthcare setting.

Abstract

In this article, the authors maintain that if properly used by trained security officers Taiser CEWs result in significant reductions in injuries and reduction in costs by type of injury. HSS's security officers have carried Taser CEW's in hospitals for more than 10 years in 40 facilities across the country producing no negative CMS finding or excessive use of force claims, they report.
