Hospitals, laboratories, medical offices, pharmaceuticals, and other science-based industries deal daily with extreme security risks and logistical challenges. Monitoring and securing entry and access points is key to securing these environments.
Challenges in Healthcare Security
Healthcare facilities face unique security challenges that require effective security solutions. Our entrance control systems are designed to ensure the safety of patients and staff by integrating advanced technology with intuitive interfaces.
Large Crowds & Equipment
Require Easy Flow
Healthcare facilities can boost safety with our wider lane speed gates, accommodating objects up to 47.25″ wide, surpassing the ADA’s 36″ standard for easier movement of larger medical equipment. Fastlane’s Sidegate Detection® technology maintains high security, making it perfect for accessible environments.
Limited Security
Personnel
When creating or updating security protocols for your healthcare facility, consider the ROI of security devices. Integrating turnstiles with technologies like card readers, biometric scanners, and weapons detection can enhance access control and improve safety.
Securing Sensitive Data
& Restricted Areas
It’s crucial to improve healthcare safety by securing sensitive areas such as records rooms, labs, and HR offices. Our Door Detective Plus model is designed specifically to enhance healthcare security by monitoring entry and exit, detecting tailgating attempts, and identifying unauthorized direction violations through unlocked or open doorways.
Securing Different Healthcare Facilities
From emergency rooms to research labs, each healthcare environment presents unique security considerations:
