Hospital Security
High-Reliability Access in Complex Clinical Environments
Challenges
-
Open, high-traffic lobbies and EDs where public and staff flows converge
-
Unauthorized access to maternity, NICU, OR, pharmacy, and lab areas
-
Multi-tower campuses with uneven security baselines and legacy systems
Solutions
Fastlane Glassgate 400 turnstiles with 3.5-foot glass barriers create discreet boundaries between public spaces and clinical floors while maintaining security staff’s sightlines. With superior 1/4-inch tailgate detection and 60 people per minute throughput, the Glassgate 400 prevents unauthorized access to maternity, NICU, pharmacy, and lab areas. Integrated with existing PACS, HR, and incident-reporting systems.
Clinic & Outpatient Security
Controlled Access Across Ambulatory Networks
Secure outpatient clinics and medical office buildings while preserving a patient-friendly experience.
Challenges
-
Large, distributed site networks with varying landlords and layouts
-
Shared lobbies that serve multiple practices or tenants
-
Protecting procedure spaces and drug storage in non-hospital settings
Solutions
Fastlane Plus 400 AS barrier-arm turnstiles offer a practical, patient-friendly approach for clinic entrances. The slim pedestals fit compact lobby spaces, and the “normally open” mode lets patients flow freely during business hours while providing security after hours or during emergencies. For staff entrances and back areas where you store controlled substances or perform procedures, Door Detective monitoring fills the gap—giving you visibility into who’s accessing sensitive spaces without requiring major renovations.
Life Sciences & Research Security
High-Integrity Access for Advanced Science
Protect labs, cleanrooms, and pilot plants where scientific IP and regulatory risk are both high.
Challenges
-
High-value experimental IP and proprietary processes
-
Complex access requirements based on biosafety levels and clearances
-
Frequent third-party researchers, partners, and contractors on site
Solutions
Fastlane and Door Detective provide fine-grained entrance control at the lab, building, and campus level, enabling policy enforcement by role, project, or clearance. Comprehensive logging and system integration simplify external audits and ensure that physical access aligns with biosafety and regulatory expectations.
Extended Care Security
Resident-Focused Security for Senior Communities
Balance resident safety and autonomy in long-term care and senior living environments.
Challenges
-
Wander-prone residents in memory-care or dementia units
-
Regular visits from family members, volunteers, and clinical staff
-
Limited staffing during nights and weekends
Solutions
Discreet Fastlane entrances and credentialed door controls help prevent unsafe elopement without making communities feel institutional. Linked with visitor registration and alerting, they give staff clear visibility into who is entering or exiting, supporting both safety and quality of life.
Health Insurance & Payer Security
Protecting High-Value Operations Floors
Secure payer HQs and service centers that handle PHI, financial data, and fraud investigations.
Challenges
-
Large-scale operations with dense concentrations of sensitive data
-
Complex visitor, vendor, and auditor access requirements
-
Multi-tenant facilities where base security does not fully address risk
Solutions
Fastlane Glassgate 150 Plus or Glassgate 150 turnstiles at key elevator banks and floor lobbies create a definitive boundary around data and operations zones. With superior 1/4-inch tailgate detection, IP control, and lane widths up to 43 inches for accessibility, the Glassgate 150 Plus secures high-volume employee flow while integrating with investigative and compliance systems.
