Challenge

Often it is not just one building; health systems and hospitals can have multiple sites and may involve multiple facilities spread out over a large geographical area or region. Patient, visitor, and staff safety and security is always a major concern. Managing access to the facility with no inconvenience or disruption can be difficult.

Common issues include equipment theft, managing restricted access and false accident claims to name but three, all of which are preventable with an integrated solution from Tyco Security Products.

Solution

Restricted Access

Using access control software from Tyco Security Products can help a hospital establish defined security areas/zones. Using the badging software, the hospital can issue badges to all of its employees, medical staff, contractors and even vendors. Properly issued access cards can provide access to appropriate facilities, buildings, or areas from the one access card based on the level of access that was granted. For example, an attending physician can have access to the building and the operating room suites but not to the pharmacy. This ensures that sensitive areas like pharmacies, central supply, and research clinics are only accessible to authorized personnel. Strong audit and search functions coupled with integrated video can reduce incidents, risk, and provide a level of security your visitors and staff expect.
