• Define criteria for determining solutions that provide the most appropriate coverage; understanding device functionality and appropriateness to specific placement within a hospital setting to create networked perimeter monitoring and detection.
• Discuss staff introduction and system training; implementation of coordinated internal responses regarding staff and treatment of contaminated patients during a threat event.
• Managing a radiological event; differentiating between various threat-level scenarios and hospital response protocols; defining perimeter control zones; management of alarms and coordinated response with local authorities.
