Streamlining security, safety and access in healthcare

Healthcare is one of the most crucial, complex, and rapidly growing industries in the world. Amid the constant change that patient care, new practices and digitalisation bring, security and operational efficiency must be maintained. If security processes are cumbersome and shortcuts are often taken, the well-being and safety of staff and patients are at stake. 

ABLOY security and access solutions streamline daily procedures, and our trusted advisors assist with security needs ranging from personnel and patient safety to information security.

More time for care with adequate key management

Healthcare facilities can be large and diverse with multiple wings, wards, and treatment rooms. Some areas, such as surgical or psychiatric wards and medicine cabinets, also need stringent access control. When facilities and staff are large and complex, ABLOY products streamline daily procedures. Improving drug stock control, security, hygienic safety and accountability gives staff more time to focus on patient care.

Improved medicine management with individual access rights

Improved medicine management with individual access rights

Well governed management of access to controlled drugs is essential, especially with the urgent nature of the care the London Ambulance Service provide, and the magnitude of the estate. The trust required a flexible and easy to use access management system, with multiple access and skill levels across multiple locations.

ABLOY suggested its PROTEC² CLIQ solution - a key-based access management solution with  security for many access points via a wide range of wireless locks. With PROTEC² CLIQ, each member of staff is issued with an individual key, which can be activated via a wall or computer programming device at the start of a shift, giving access to areas and assets in accordance with their clearance.

ABLOY ACTIVE - Reducing harmful bacteria

ABLOY ACTIVE - Reducing harmful bacteria

Microbes accumulate particularly in hospitals and are spread from one surface to another. Bacterial transmission through contact can be minimized with touch-free door opening. Also, infection-reducing antimicrobial ABLOY ACTIVE solutions in door environments can destroy up to 99 percent of harmful bacteria, including the MRSA hospital bacteria, Listeria and Salmonella, while being 100 percent safe for the user. Reducing the number of infections will lead to better patient safety and less absences among staff due to illness.

Integrability with other systems – greater situational awareness

Facility, security, human resource and other management systems are integrating. To maintain existing workflows and processes, ABLOY solutions and products can easily be integrated to existing operational business applications, including third-party solutions. This creates tighter security, greater overall situational awareness and operational efficiency.
