Charles Cullen killed over 40 people. Hospitals did not report the suspicious
deaths to other hospitals he went off to work at. Hiding of abuse and
suspicious behavior by health care workers goes on all around the country,
Don't let you or your loved ones be next.

We are asking if everyone would be so kind as to email your lawmakers at the
Local, County, and State levels and encourage
them to do the following:

Introduce and pass legislation that requires higher standards and more
comprehensive background checks for current and future health care workers.
Indroduce pass legislation to require all health care facilities to report any
and all errors or disciplinary measures made by or taken against any health
care worker to the state. This information must be made available to any future
work place of the disciplined employee.

There must also be legislation to improve security in all health care
facilities. Access to patients, their records and to any medication must be
closely monitored and shut down/ceased and disciplined on record if a worker
attempts unauthorized access to patients or medication. Health care workers who
harm patients in any way, or Facilities who tollerate such workers should be
dealt with by the law with no tollerance. We need serious fines and jail time
for offenders. It may save a life, or a quite a few. Before another tragedy
like this occcurs please take a few minutes to write a short Email to your law
makers about the points above.

It is sad but true that on rare occasions something like this happens but
they happen because we live in a free society and, short of becoming the
sort of "1984" society we all dread, there is little that can be done that
isn't already being done.
These kind of events happen because they are not easily noticed and/or
because the people that do them have nothing that will show up on a
background check i.e. they haven't been caught yet.
All disciplinary measures taken by registered bodies are published in the
relevent journals and are available to any who read them. The vast majority,
I would venture to suggest, take their punishment and retraining or whatever
and are model practicioners ever after and don't need to be villified out of
their proffession.
I, for one, do not think an ever growing mountain of legislation helps much
in any area of life. Better to spend the money and energy on making people
more responsible and caring as individuals through better social programs.
