Technology Enhances Security Systems for Health Care Facilities

Security systems and components including locks, entry devices and door alarms have evolved to meet the changing needs of a high-risk world. This is particularly true in the health care industry, where threats now extend beyond the risk of fire and elopement. Active shooters, IT security, and tracking controlled substances are just a few of the constant challenges now facing heath care facilities.

In addition to meeting those demands, security systems must function seamlessly in multi-department and campus environments. From front line staff to corporate level management, users have different needs and requirements. allowing authorized staff to move freely while limiting access of patients and their visitors is critical in providing effective care.

New technologies are emerging every day to help health care facilities meet the growing security challenges. A few of the advanced access control features keeping facilities secure include:

  • Real time locating of assets and staff.
  • Integrated alerts for access control and wandering resident protection.
  • New options for authentication include proximity cards, mobile device hardware and applications, as well as hands free and biometric credentials.
  • Single Site and multi campus access levels for more granular control across a healthcare system.
