Frequently Asked Questions About Healthcare Security Solutions
Healthcare security involves the protection of healthcare buildings against unlawful intruders with potentially nefarious means.
Without security, healthcare institutions can put employees, visitors, assets, and data at risk. Pharmaceutical companies have trade secrets to protect, while hospitals must protect patients. Healthcare industries also strive to keep their buildings healthy and to protect those on their premises from getting sick.
Key areas that should implement access control security include:
● Entrances and exits
● Elevators and stairways
● Laboratories
● Patient rooms
● Offices
● Pharmacies
Healthcare buildings utilize several security measures, such as video surveillance, security screening, biometric or card scanning, lockdown, and other forms of building access control.
Physical healthcare security solutions could help prevent:
● Sensitive information leakage
● Terror attacks
● Patient flight risk
● Unauthorized guests
● Medical device/prescription theft
Cybersecurity in healthcare focuses on safeguarding electronic data and critical systems from unauthorized access, misuse, and exposure. Its primary objectives are to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive information, a framework commonly known as the "CIA triad." This protection is essential for maintaining patient privacy and securing healthcare operations.
Hospitals may go on lockdown during critical situations like active shooter incidents or contagious disease outbreaks. Our healthcare access control systems enable quick, secure lockdowns across the entire facility. This ensures sensitive areas are protected, high-risk zones are secured, and the movement of people within the hospital is effectively managed.
