Hospital Security
Hospitals are among the few institutions that never close, serving their communities 24/7/365. In addition to ensuring the personal safety of patients, visitors, staff, physicians, and suppliers, healthcare security professionals must also consider the unique and critical challenges of the security needs of the facility: multiple entrances, expanse treatment areas, rooms and hallways, expensive equipment, confidential medical records, and the transport, storage, and utilization of pharmaceuticals — not to mention countless regulatory requirements.
In addition to traditional security solutions such as intrusion detection and control systems, fire and life safety, electronic access control, visitor management, pharmacy controls, and emergency room controls, ADT provides managed video solutions. These can either tie into existing technology infrastructure with little or no capital investment or they can be part of a custom security solution.
From the installation of alert buttons that trigger live video feeds to specially trained security professionals at ADT's remote Customer Monitoring Center, to regularly scheduled video guard “tours” that can keep watch over sensitive areas, ADT SelectSM View services can help meet the security needs of a variety of healthcare facilities including hospitals, medical centers, skilled nursing facilities, long term care facilities, rehabilitation facilities, acute and sub-acute care hospitals, and assisted living facilities.
After installing surveillance cameras at strategic locations inside and/or outside the facility, or after tying into existing security cameras, specially trained security professionals at ADT's remote Customer Monitoring Center can observe and record activities. And, if a security breach occurs, they can instantly follow security protocols — whether notifying local law enforcement or an on-site security resource. Live video feeds and real-time audio capabilities mean ADT operators can get eyes on a situation instantly and provide detailed and accurate information to local law enforcement if necessary.
By merging decades of experience in security and technology, ADT works with a healthcare facility’s leadership team as well as its security and information technology infrastructure, to understand and implement custom security solutions that meet immediate as well as future needs.
