Security Management Solutions
Using our insights in the healthcare sector, we skilfully enhance the security of medical facilities. Understanding the challenges of large sites with many entrances and exits, where patient, visitor and employee safety is of the highest concern, we tailor our solutions and put the tools in place to provide vital services.
Enhancing the experience of patients and families
Our APGS ensures swift and stress-free entry to medical facilities. With advanced parking technology, patients and visitors can effortlessly find available parking spaces, reducing the time they spend navigating through large parking garages. This streamlined process significantly diminishes the stress levels associated with parking, enabling patients and visitors to arrive at appointments or connect with family members promptly.
Industry Challenges
- Balancing hospital and public building security requirements in a vital environment, covering medical/open active areas which require 24/7 operation.
- Access control: The need for an Access Control system capable of meeting the diverse access needs within a hospital, encompassing open areas and restricted zones, including labs and medical equipment storage.
- Requirement for maintaining controlled pressure environments during medical procedures like quarantine protocols.
- Support for staff: To effectively manage operations during periods of reduced staffing, enhancing resource allocation, workflow optimization, and communication support.
- Enable access to employee facilities/services such as lockers, clothing, medical tools, catering, and parking.
- Mitigate potential security threats posed by visitors through innovative access control, real-time monitoring, and effective emergency response strategies.
Healthcare Driven Solutions
- Enhanced Security with Access Control: We implement dynamic access management solutions to cater to both open-access areas and restricted zones like laboratories and medical equipment storage. The system utilizes diverse access levels, accommodating various personnel requirements while ensuring security.
- Highly Secure Area Management: In critical, round-the-clock operational zones like medical areas, a vigilant security strategy is implemented. Authorized entry deactivates alarms, while a built-in timer activates the alarm if the area remains unoccupied for a specified duration.
- Pressurized/Clean Rooms Interlock: For controlled environments like pressurized medical rooms, a sophisticated interlock system guarantees the preservation of essential conditions. Doors remain interdependent, ensuring one cannot open unless the other is securely closed.
- Support for Staff/Visitors: Intercom systems can facilitate smooth communication even in departments with minimal staffing by use of an external integration, connecting to those on shift that may not be available to answer a fixed intercom.
- Multi-purpose Access Cards: Streamlined access through a single card enhances convenience and traceability, enabling employees to access lockers, clothing, medical instruments, restaurants, and parking areas.
- Patient Monitoring: Utilizing AI-driven patient monitoring, each patient’s journey can be closely and compassionately tracked. For vulnerable patients, the system detects movements, activities such as dressing, and staff interactions, even from off-duty team members. This approach significantly enhances patient care and facilitates the efficient allocation of limited resources.
- Heightened Surveillance: Our Video Management System – VDG SENSE, can monitor emergency room (ER) areas, providing event-driven insights to operators. This surveillance enhances situational awareness and security, providing functionalities such as crowd detection algorithms to monitor and manage potential situations, ensuring safety protocols are adhered to.
- Prioritizing Access: Our solution recognizes specific credentials, prioritizing medical transport, technical staff, and emergency responders. Dedicated elevators ensure swift access to critical areas like the Emergency Room.
Tailored Solutions for You
- An application for special medical areas, for example a vault that contains vital equipment but must be monitored in terms of use, 24/7.
- A multi-use card that provides access to a range of essential functions needed for daily activities such as lockers, clothing, medical instruments, restaurants, and parking areas.
- Physical Security can be heightened (especially in ER Areas) thanks to a combination of our AC and VMS that can notify operators of event-driven scenarios such as a large crowd approaching, noise levels and more.
- Integration of smart lock solutions.
- Different levels of security depending on schedules of (Day/Night) staffing. Particularly important in controlling who can access doors/entrances and specific areas during critical hours of typical disruption.
- Specialized Secure Rooms: A secure room with interlocking capabilities and aggression detection via intercom is designed to handle extreme security situations. Microphones in these rooms allow operators to listen and respond promptly.
- Integration of HRM Systems: Assign standard rights to staff facilities/services such as clothing and parking whilst also setting specific rights to restricted areas that need heightened levels of security. Thanks to this integration you also have automatic information on new employees.
- Alarm types that can be set, for example, technical or intrusion types that indicate what kind of event is taking place for prompt and effective action.
- Reporting for Access Optimization and monitoring of access rights utilizing daily staff movements to streamline the process/flow within the building to enhance security levels.
- Nighttime Access Control: With the need for heightened security during nighttime hours at entry points, the system adjusts according to specific conditions, ensuring controlled access when it’s most essential. Particularly crucial during periods of limited staffing.
