Healthcare facilities pose unique security challenges
involving these key considerations:
Layers of Security. A hospital is like a small city, heavily
populated during the day, less so at night. The security master
plan must provide doctors, nurses and hospital staff with freedom
of movement to do their vital tasks while tightening security in
key areas such as infant care, drug storage and patient records,
especially at night.
Surveillance and Response.With a limited number of security
personnel, most healthcare facilities must rely on perimeter and
interior surveillance cameras to monitor parking lots, access points
and high-security areas. This surveillance must be coupled with
a security center manned by well-trained people who are experienced
in rapid response to all types of events.
Communications Access for Patients. Today’s patients,
especially children, expect high-speed internet access to information
and entertainment venues. As many hospital complexes are also medical
training centers, the use of advanced av/communications systems
is vital to the hospital’s profitability and time management
for medical personnel.
