Each employee is given a unique credential that grants him or her access to enter specific areas of the facility. The credential provides the employee with a unique security clearance to predefined areas. For example, an administrative assistant will not be able to access the medicine storage closet with his or her card. This effectively restricts access to sensitive areas of your facility and helps safeguard patient information.
Our security systems for doctor’s offices can monitor cabinets, lockers and supply closets through an access control system. From this, you can create access reports to these critical products and medications. Access control technology assists in implementing a HIPAA compliant security system.
Controlling the access of patients, visitors, contractors, and vendor representatives is vital to keeping your facility safe. A visitor management solution is all about knowing and managing who is in your building.
Through the use of an automated visitor management solution, physician offices can track visitors, meet visitor policies and ensure that restricted guests are not granted access. Create watch lists, enable web pre-registration for vendor meetings and utilize unmanned kiosks for arriving visitors to streamline the sign-in processes.
Video surveillance technology is helpful in two ways. First, it is an important monitoring tool that allows for real-time updates on facility security. Second, video surveillance aids in bringing perpetrators to justice, if crimes occur.
Take this solution one step further by setting up event-triggered video recording. Once a predefined event is triggered—such as logging into a secure computer or opening the supply closet—the video cameras will start recording.
Healthcare security systems are vital to help maintain safety and privacy. Effective video surveillance and access control are crucial to running a doctor's office or other healthcare facility. Contact Sonitrol New England to speak with our experts.
