Going back to the "accountability" aspect, it would be interesting to hear the Security Directors version of the story.
The HC industry is pretty specific in its requirements for preventing workplace violence:

My guess is 30% compliance from about 80% of the HC facilities would be the norm!

I wonder if the SD was trying to do a DIY incident preparedness drill since the same administrator who dumped him didn't give him any budget to hire some professional training and advice on how to properly run a critical incident exercise.
