Exploring Security Concerns Within the Healthcare Industry

Healthcare institutions face the challenge of balancing security measures with budget constraints to ensure patient and staff safety while maintaining a welcoming environment. Necessary security measures must be taken to minimize violence and other security threats.

​Hospital safety for healthcare staff and social workers can be improved with an AI-powered security system that is proactive, predictive, and intelligent, providing prompt response from the security team to ensure overall safety.

Important elements to consider when developing a security design include safeguarding sensitive information, volatile materials, specialised areas, and critical aspects of the operation.

Unified systems benefit security operations teams by improving their understanding of surroundings, increasing efficiency, and providing greater control.

​Access control is crucial in healthcare institutions to ensure the safety and security of patients and staff. It's important to limit access to specific areas, such as medical record hubs or medicine cabinets, to authorized personnel only.

​A unified physical security platform can help healthcare facilities by addressing workplace violence, securing medication cabinets, ensuring compliance with healthcare regulations, improving patient throughput and staff satisfaction, and integrating communication management capabilities. It also centralizes multiple campus views into one security operations center for operational efficiency.

Boosting Physical Security: 5 Tips for Healthcare Organizations

​Establishing Your Goals

• ​Clear objectives are crucial for healthcare security, whether it's preventing medication theft or ensuring safety from violent incidents involving patients and staff.
• Inquiring if violence prevention, threat detection, and facility usage enhancement are your goals.
• Match technology with objectives.
• ​Determining the addition of analytics in an end-to-end system solution when considering an end-to-end solution for the security system, the incorporation of analytics should be a key decision point.
  
  

Knowing Your Overhead

• Calculating the necessary overhead for a Video Surveillance System.  For a healthcare system, reducing drug theft by 10% can be a justifiable return on investment if a video surveillance system is implemented.
  
  

Developing an central monitoring center

• Central monitoring system for hospitals allows for 24/7 monitoring of multiple sites and can urgently call for assistance from security or law enforcement during incidents.
• Improving safety and security with an AI-Enabled central monitoring center, integrating AI into your monitoring center can enhance safety and security measures at your location.
  
  

Seamlessly Integrate Your Video Surveillance System with Other Apps in BMS

• Ensuring video surveillance software compatibility with current system
• ​When choosing a video surveillance system, ensure that it has AI capabilities that are compatible with other systems, such as access control and visitor management control
  

IDIS Deep Learning Engine

Introducing the IDIS Deep Learning Engine – an artificial neural network designed to emulate the human brain's ability to learn from experience. With superior performance, it can analyze extensive data points from video footage, spanning across multiple cameras, sites, or facilities. This allows it to efficiently detect and identify potential threats, while eliminating false alarms.

​Enhancing Patient and Staff Safety in Hospitals with Artificial Intelligence

​Hospitals are considering video surveillance systems with advanced analytics and computer vision capabilities to improve physical safety.

​Patients are responsible for the majority of violence experienced by nursing staff. Over half of the incidents were caused by combative patients.

Workplace violence incidents often occur while explaining or enforcing organizational policies or providing patient updates, according to a survey of those who reported experiencing such incidents.

​Healthcare organizations are improving video surveillance using video analytics and computer vision to enhance security and modernize current methods, promoting the safety of patients and providers.
