Commercial Security Solutions for Health Care Buildings

1. Access Control System

An access control system is a convenient and effective way to control authorization. Provide team members with access cards and fit each door with an electronic lock. You can easily control what areas certain employees are authorized to access. If they leave the company or lose a card, removing those privileges through the master controller is simple.

2. Video Surveillance

A surveillance system allows you to keep an eye on staff and visitors alike. It will be up to you to decide what level of monitoring your facility needs. Some options are to have security personnel monitor the live feed, monitor the facility from on or off-site via a computer or cell phone, or to invest in equipment that can detect activity and then record incidents for later viewing as needed. Place cameras at the building entrances, on any areas where medication is kept, and at the doorways to other restricted areas.

3. Multi Level Door Security

Certain restricted areas should have more thorough door security.  Multi-level systems can combine MEDECO high security keys and locks, access control cards or fobs, and security camera recording.  These products can be layered for areas you deem high risk, such as patient file rooms, pharmacies, and medical equipment storage areas .
