Healthcare facilities require reliable, seamless security access and surveillance systems to ensure security without obstructing care. A suitable design results in a connected environment, providing end-to-end security with compliant procedures, touchless access systems, and real-time access management.
Integrated security access systems musts and benefits
( Adaptability )
Millions of people access healthcare facilities daily. A hardcore control with a flexible and effortless access system are equally important to ensure patients and personnel are fully protected without restricting their capabilities. Designing a full, up to scale system requires understanding different types of users, deciding rules for common ground and restricted areas, and managing schedules in an integrated way. It must provide specific access and restrictions according to the security required in each space, manage temporary guest access, and give employees or third parties access through scheduling, restriction of areas, and monitored control.
( Reliability & emergency features )
Connectivity, communication, and alerting features may be different according to each building and industry’s characteristics. There is no such thing as the perfect solution; the best solution is the one that fits every scenario, even contingencies and emergencies.
( Compatibility )
Recycle technologies that are still worth keeping and reduce the budget or invest in upgrading other areas. Open software programming enables different technologies to be compatible. Reconfiguring existing equipment when upgrading your security system is an option often times discarded. Scalable projects are also an option.
( Simplicity )
A well-designed system allows updating security needs & authorizations without the need for long applications or creating hazards for the community. Managing usage can be enabled through pre-configured rules, schedules, and alerts.
( Safety )
The security system has to be designed end to end: from the street to the workstation. It must reach out to all exits, main traffic areas, elevators and hallways, and even outdoor spaces when defining what best suits your needs.
( Maintenance and service )
Reliable and consistent maintenance is key to ensure security 24/7. Many disruptions and failures are due to a lack of maintenance and hiring inexperienced technicians to solve existing problems. When addressing a security system, Global Monitoring allows adjusting coverage as needed.
Ensure your service company is experienced and the care you are receiving is transparent and thorough to avoid misconceptions.
