A Guide to Hospital Access Control Systems
Ensuring optimal security for hospitals and health care facilities in TN, AR, and MS can be a challenge. Consider the variety of people who make up the typical hospital environment—they include patients, staff, vendors, physicians, and visitors. Also consider the many different rooms and spaces, high-value equipment, accessibility to drugs, many entrances, and ease-of-movement around the building and premises. As a result of economic challenges throughout the area, many hospitals face severely limited budgets.
All this adds up to a need for planning and implementing strong security measures. Hospital managers often base their security decisions on legal issues, costs, and fear of litigation. However, the critical assets of a hospital—its people, property, information, and reputation—must be protected with good security.

Hospital Access Control Systems
Most hospitals require employees, doctors, volunteers, medical students, and contractors to wear photo IDs. In many cases, patients and visitors receive ID badges as well. Many hospitals and health care facilities are now realizing that it makes sense to link hospital ID badges to full access control systems. Access control systems provide hospitals and health care facilities throughout the area a necessary layer of security by allowing or denying a person’s admittance to an area through the use of access cards or biometric recognition.
Hospital access control systems strengthen the overall security of a facility by limiting access to restricted areas and permitting only authorized personnel to enter. Dangerous intruders should not have easy access to a hospital or health care facility, making access control extremely important.
Other Hospital Security Measures
In addition to access control systems, hospitals should invest in:
Clean agent fire suppression systems
Collectively, these measures will ensure that a hospital is safe, secure, and able to operate efficiently at all times.
