Security for Hospitals

Hospital security involves ensuring the safety and security of patients, visitors, staff, and assets within healthcare facilities. Given the unique environment of hospitals and healthcare settings, security measures must balance the need for patient care and accessibility with the need to protect individuals and sensitive information. Establishing visitor policies and procedures to control visitor access, issue visitor badges, and monitor visitor activities within the hospital. Visitor management systems may also be employed to track visitor movements and enforce visitation guidelines. Developing and practicing emergency response plans, evacuation procedures, and incident management protocols to address various emergencies, including medical emergencies, fire, natural disasters, active assailant incidents, and other security threats.
