Our Impact
Trusted by Healthcare Leaders
At Sentry Security Health Services (SSHS), our commitment to excellence in healthcare security and patient support is reflected in the impact we’ve made in hospitals and healthcare facilities across Nova Scotia. From reducing police wait times to improving patient care outcomes, SSHS has proven to be a trusted partner for healthcare professionals.
Efficient Emergency Room Management
Sentry Security, our sister company, has played a vital role in supporting Nova Scotia hospitals by reducing police wait times for managing high-risk patients.
Previously, law enforcement officers were required to remain on-site in emergency rooms for extended periods while waiting for mental health assessments to be completed. Sentry stepped in to bridge this gap:
- By assuming responsibility for patients after their initial medical assessment, Sentry Security enables police officers to return to their duties more quickly.
- Over the past year, this model has saved thousands of hours of police resources, allowing them to focus on community safety.
“This approach has been instrumental in addressing inefficiencies and ensuring a smoother process for all stakeholders involved,” said an NSHA representative.
Patient Sitters Success
- SSHS sitters help redirect agitated patients, preventing incidents and creating a calmer environment for both patients and staff.
- Nurses have praised the added support SSHS sitters bring, allowing them to focus on other critical tasks while trusting that patients are in good hands.
“Patient watches are managed with professionalism and empathy, ensuring safety and support for everyone involved,” shared a healthcare professional from Glace Bay Hospital.
