The Hospital Security Reporter will soon be going electronic. We intend to disseminate the newsletter via email in an HTML format. This newsletter will arrive as an email as opposed to being an attachment to an email. The email version will provide a brief synopsis of each story with a click-through link to the stories you wish to read in their entirety. Those who have already subscribed to the Hospital Security Reporter to be delivered as an email attachment will automatically receive the new version. Those wishing to subscribe may do so at our website (www.smsiinc.com). The free subscription offer is on the right hand side of our Home Page.
Subscribers will receive other benefits at no charge. SMSI will provide an online forum as a place to discuss a wide range of security issues. We will provide the conduit for the exchange of ideas and the sharing of information. Subscribers will be able to submit questions and receive feedback from those in similar circumstances. For example, often security related trends begin somewhere in the country and eventually spread. If that kind of information is shared early, areas not affected have more time to develop a fix early on.
This free service will also allow for the posting of job opportunities in the general field of security and loss prevention, subject to the approval of SMSI. These classified ads will be available to subscribers only who choose to log on to the site. Additionally, SMSI will conduct a series of polls and share the results with all subscribers. We will welcome suggestions for poll questions in order to be responsive to all interests.
SMSI is happy to entertain articles, such as success stories, from anyone who wishes to share experiences. However, we will not provide a forum for vendors of products and services to promote their offerings. SMSI as a consulting service wants to maintain complete independence and objectivity. We do not want to become affiliated with any particular guard service or with a purveyor of alarms, card access, CCTV, etc. SMSI is often retained to represent our clients' interest in their dealings with security vendors, hence our aversion to even the appearance of a sweetheart deal.
As we develop these concepts over the next few weeks, we welcome any input regarding the kind of interchange that would benefit the majority. We would also welcome any suggestions for future articles in the Hospital Security Reporter.
