Security Systems for
Hospitals & Healthcare
Enhance staff and patient safety. Create secure healthcare environments with life-safety and security systems.
Provide critical care in a secure environment.
Physical security in healthcare environments involves much more than just securing the premises. It also encompasses protecting equipment, pharmaceuticals, sensitive data, and other valuable assets, as well as ensuring the safety of everyone within the facility. It is a complex task that requires a comprehensive and proactive approach.
At Absco Solutions, we understand the importance of a cost-efficient security system that will improve your security outcomes, reduce your time to manage, and lower your cost of ownership. Whether it’s a single building or a large school district, our team will design a custom system that meets your unique needs and budget while providing a scalable solution for the future.
Security Solutions for Hospitals & Healthcare
Video Surveillance
Video surveillance systems now come equipped with features like motion detection, facial recognition, and AI algorithms that can detect unusual activity or behaviors. For instance, they can identify unauthorized access to restricted areas such as drug storage rooms or patient records.
Video surveillance systems can also monitor patient safety, ensuring they are receiving proper care and preventing incidents like patient elopement. By providing continuous monitoring and instant alerts, these systems significantly contribute to maintaining a safe and secure environment for both patients and healthcare staff.
Access Control
Access control systems function by regulating who can enter certain areas within the facility, preventing unauthorized access and enhancing overall security. These systems work using various authentication methods such as key cards, biometrics, or pin codes to verify the identity of individuals before granting them access.
In sensitive areas like operating theatres, drug storage rooms, or patient records, access control systems are beneficial in limiting access only to authorized personnel. These systems also keep a log of all entry and exit activities, providing a detailed audit trail that can be invaluable during investigations or audits.
Concealed Weapons Detection
These systems work using advanced technologies like millimeter wave scanning, magnetic anomaly detection, or AI algorithms to detect metallic and non-metallic weapons concealed under clothing or within bags.
They can identify a wide range of weapons, including guns, knives, and explosives. When a concealed weapon is detected, the system alerts security personnel, enabling them to respond swiftly and appropriately to the potential threat. In high-risk areas or during high-threat periods, these systems can help mitigate the risk of violent incidents and ensure the safety of patients, staff, and visitors.
Fire Life Safety
A fire-life safety system works by detecting early signs of fire such as smoke or heat and sounding alarms to alert occupants and emergency services. They also activate automatic suppression systems like sprinklers to control the spread of fire.
Critical healthcare areas like operating rooms, patient wards, and laboratories, which may contain flammable materials, particularly benefit from these systems. Modern fire life safety systems can also integrate with building management systems to initiate procedures like unlocking doors for evacuation, closing fire doors to prevent fire spread, and shutting down HVAC systems to limit smoke circulation.
