Description: This session will include panelists who are leaders/members from our own Baystate Medical Center Security Department as well as officers from police and/or correctional departments who are involved in helping to supervise patients in custody while they are inpatients in the hospital setting. The discussions will include what boundaries are and need to be set around these patients and what legalities we may encounter in their care. We'll discuss also biases and other emotional issues that may come up for treatment providers of all types as we care for these patients
