2026 State of Hospital Safety: What's Working, What's Next
Hospital safety isn't a single-variable problem. It takes training, response, technology, policy, and culture, all advancing in step while the hospital runs 24/7.
Join Daryl Forbes, Security Manager at a major East Coast hospital network; Kirk Davis, former CISO of a 19,000-employee health system, now Healthcare SME at Verkada; and Todd Phillips, Sr. Account Executive at Pavion, for a live discussion on how teams are responding and staying proactive.
Register for this live roundtable to get a first-hand look at the tradeoffs behind a multi-phase modernization initiative at one of the Mid-Atlantic's largest health systems, the integrator's view on deploying at scale without disrupting patient care, and a former healthcare CISO's take on the threats, technologies, and governance shifts every hospital security leader should have on their radar. Whether you lead security, IT, clinical, or facilities, you'll leave with a clearer picture of how peers are sequencing investments — and what to ask of your team, partners, and vendors in 2026.
We'll close with live Q&A, so bring your questions for the team.
